(Adnkronos) – Jasmine Paolini beaten today 6-2, 6-1 in the women’s singles final at Roland Garros. Iga Swiatek triumphs for the fourth in her career, the third in a row, in Paris in the second round of the Grand Slam of the season, played on the clay courts of the Bois de Boulogne. The 23-year-old Pole, world number 1 and first seed, clearly defeats the 28-year-old Italian, number 15 in the WTA ranking and 12th seeded, in the final with a score of 6-2, 6-1 in one hour and six minutes . For Swiatek it is the 5th Slam title of her career, while Paolini consoles herself with entering the top ten from next Monday, when she will be number 7 in the WTA ranking. The match has little history with the Pole superior in all areas of the game. At the start of the match the Tuscan was deceiving and in the third game she broke the Pole’s serve to take a 2-1 lead. From that moment, however, a series of five games ends the first part, with the world number one devastating for the pace imposed on the match. For the Italian she accounts for 25% of points won with the first serve. The first head flies to 5-0, extending the series of consecutive games to ten, and closes 6-1 on the first match point. “Today was tough, but I’m satisfied with my tournament.” These are the words of Jasmine Paolini during the Roland Garros awards ceremony. “Today I had fun. Playing against Iga is the most complicated challenge in this sport, congratulations to her for the work done. Thanks to all my team and my family who believe in me. They were the best 15 days of my life life, but it’s not over yet because tomorrow is the doubles final. They’ve been intense days, I’m happy and proud of myself.” “Congratulations Jasmine for an amazing tournament” said Iga Swiatek. “I was impressed by how you played in these two weeks, with your game you can do well especially on clay. I hope to play many more matches against you in the final stages of the tournaments. Good luck for the doubles final tomorrow. I almost lost in the second round, it was a very emotional tournament. I thank my family, my team and everyone who contributed to the tournament. I saw many Polish flags, I heard from my fans a lot and I thank them too year”. —[email protected] (Web Info)
