There is wanting someone's towel and there is starting a fight over it as Jasmine Paolini was forced to break one up after her third round thrashing of Yulia Starodubtseva at the French Open.
Paolini threw the towel into the crowd and there was a tussle over it. But instead of allowing them to duke it out Paolini who had security ready to intervene decided neither were going to have it.
Both people who fought over it were left glum faced as they didn't get what they wanted and Paolini who is known as one of the nicest players on the tour decided not to let it play out.
She next faces Elina Svitolina tomorrow for a spot in the Quarter-Finals. A tough tie but hopefully there will be no fights this next time.

- 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

- Iga is our family's favorite person and player (along with Jasmine P) but Iga is wrong here. According to the WTA 2025 Rule Book she indeed took too long, longer than the occasional Ump's unilateral leniency to allow more time. She surpassed any exception I've seen on clay without Hawkeye. If that's not enough for her or anyone, here's a fact: Try to pressure Kader Nouni, an amazing individual and the WTA #1 male chair ump, and you will lose every time!
mandoist06-06-2025 - In defense of Sabalenka, she is very succinct and analytic when it comes to tennis. Her tennis IQ is admirable. However she's not exactly a Harvard or Oxford graduate when she speaks away from tennis. Might be best to keep interviews short. It's no longer "cute" to seem naive and/or not so bright. As for the lengthy screaming and very late loud vocal tricks, it may have started as a distraction tool. But at this stage it seems more of a Bad Habit Gone Wrong. Not unlike allowing a child to pick their nose as they please, only to eventually be an 18 year-old not just picking their nose... but eating it, too. The extended screaming nonsense is annoying (intended as so?) and unnecessary. Saba's level of noises are not the "physical release" described by coaches and players. It's actually approaching a level of unfairness.mandoist05-06-2025
- The next president of Serbia secured this victory with remarkable ease. Zverev’s sudden shift in level during the final game—saving four match points—raises questions about his overall approach. His tendency to engage in prolonged rallies often works against him. Unless he adopts a more proactive game style and re-evaluates his coaching setup, he risks being remembered as a consistent performer (having earned loads of money) without a Grand Slam title to his name.MrAndreeva05-06-2025
