MATCH REPORT | 2024 US Open: Jasmine Paolini moves into third round after Pliskova walkover three points in
WTAThursday, 29 August 2024 at 20:05
No.5 seed Jasmine Paolini has advanced into the third round of the US Open for the first time after 2016 runner-up Karolina Pliskova retired only three points in to their second round tie.
Paolini led 30-15 in the first service game but couldn't even complete that. Pliskova pulled up and began limping. The Czech ace requested a medical timeout for treatment on her left foot.
But she was unable to continue. Paolini will now face No.30 seed Yulia Putintseva. She came from 5-3 down in the second set to defeat Wang Xinyu 6-1, 7-6 for the first time in four meetings. The placement and variety of Putintseva was superb as she led with ease 6-1, 3-1 but she had to fight in the end to stave off a purple patch from her opponent.
Other players through include Diana Shnaider who saw off Clara Tauson 6-4, 6-4. Anna Kalinskaya was one of the first winners of the day in the battle of the Anna's. She defeated Anna Bondar with ease 6-2, 6-4 to continue her run. Iga Swiatek has just began her tie while Mirra Andreeva who could be an opponent for Swiatek is in trouble.
She sits on the verge of defeat against Ashlyn Krueger who is just one game away as of time of writing. Sofia Kenin v Jessica Pegula also is played shortly in an all American clash.

- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general. The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium. This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.

- WTA has been unfairly ignoring Elena ever since Wimbledon. Arguably biased against her. Same with the most major sponsors whom normally pounce on the Wimbledon Winners for sponsorship. Didn't happen. Her unfair treatment was always in Lena's subconcious; how she was largely ignored after Wimbledon. Her sister helped her a lot during that period. Next came illnesses and minor injury. A lot of time was lost, and physical (mental?) issues were frequent, as she fought through the absurdiy and general nonsense brought-on by her coach/partner. He was a Loser then, he's a Loser still. Although he has lowered his attitude, volume, and non-stop yapping from the box since he wore the organizations out with his non-stop legal letters begging for mercy and ultimately fully reinstated. Rybakina deserves all the accolades others have enjoyed and more for her strength and will to succeed. Hope it continues.mandoist15-09-2026
