Roland Garros: Iga Swiatek-Jasmine Paolini 6-2 6-1
Jasmine Paolini’s dream is shattered at the most beautiful moment. The Italian, in fact, failed to defeat Iga Swiatek and win the first Slam of her career. The world number one won over the Tuscan player with a clear 6-2 6-1, achieved in just over an hour, winning the Paris tournament for the fourth time.
The first set starts well for the Italian, as she manages to break her opponent’s serve in the third game. From that moment, however, Swiatek increased the pace and became unstoppable, first placing the immediate counter-break, then winning the next four games, winning the partial 6-2.
The second set is without history, Paolini struggles enormously to find continuity with the forehand and the Warsaw native, in a short time, flies away with the score taking the lead to 5-0. The Italian has a minimal reaction of pride, but this does not prevent the world number one from closing the score at 6-1, winning her third consecutive tournament after Madrid and Rome.
Having lost the chance of winning in the singles, the Tuscan player will try to triumph in the women’s doubles with Sara Errani, as on Sunday 9 June they will face Coco Gauff and Katerina Siniakova. To further crown the splendid journey made by Paolini in Paris, starting from next June 10th the Tuscan will be number 7 in the WTA ranking.
