Shock on the cards? Jasmine Paolini set and a break up in final as first step of Rome Open Italian Job in sight
WTASaturday, 17 May 2025 at 18:14
Jasmine Paolini was the outsider in her match against Coco Gauff but she is taking the game to the American and is a set and a break up at the Rome Open in a title that would do wonders for her immediate future.
Paolini defends a Roland Garros final and also a Wimbledon final in the coming months and employed Marc Lopez for this clay court season to help give her a similar giule to a certain Rafael Nadal who he coached at the end of his career.
She has morphed into a potential Queen of Clay ripping apart the favourite at times during the opening exchanges and it would be the first part of the 'Italian Job' not the film as Jannik Sinner will play Carlos Alcaraz in a mouthwatering finale tomorrow in the men's.
We could see the immediate return of the World No.1 to the winners circle and in fact Paolini scoop her joint biggest title alongside Dubai last year which kicked off her wonderful summer.
Only a few games to go but can she close it out? Stay tuned to TennisUpToDate.com.
The Italian’s not slowing down! 🚀

- Maybe she's receiving hints that it's time to take a break if Gauff and suspended matches are too much for her.
mandoist19-06-2025 - Americans should be banned from competitive tennis. They are generally taller and have longer forearms. And of course, being a Wimbledon champion is wholly reliant on these two factors alone. Mental and physical preparation, training, mindset, level of fitness, tactics, competitor analysis etc. clearly have nothing to do with the match outcome. My position is borne out by the facts - of Wimbledon open women’s single champions, 29 have been American, whereas the whole of the rest of the world has only managed 27. This imbalance needs to be urgently addressed 🤣Paul10118-06-2025
- The general pattern has been Loser Bettors attacking people better than themselves through (anti)Social Media. The majority of threats and disgusting comments come from those who lose their lunch money, allowances, and rent money in online bets.mandoist17-06-2025
- Just realize the problem, then address the problem. Don't bullshit everyone (actually only yourself) for over a week and finally admit a simple mistake or misjudgement. It's never a good idea to try to justify shaky comments instead of owning them. Quicker one makes an admission of somewhat poor judgement, the sooner it goes away.mandoist17-06-2025

- BBC sports coverage blows anyway. Two most obvious reasons = They can't seem to shut their mouths often enough -- and they will bounce from one event to another at will. Not to mention show 90% of a sporting event and cut it short to go to regularly schedule programs! In short, BBC sucks.mandoist14-06-2025
- Jimmy, how much more pause are you talking about? By the time the match ends to the time they stage is erected and they mount it to accept the award is about 10 minutes. All players are not at the same maturity level. Culture and one's upbringing has a LOT to do with how players each respond to a loss. Some players just need to learn how to exercise self-control. It isn't everything that you want to say that you should say.Rapunzel11-06-2025
