Jasmine Paolini has qualified for the women’s final at Roland Garros. The Italian, soon to be number 10 in the world, beat the Russian Mirra Andreeva in two sets with a score of 6-3, 6-1.
To reach the title in Paris, Paolini will have to beat the world no.1, the Polish Iga Swiatek, who won it in 2020, 2022 and 2023.

“Thank you very much, it was a pleasure, thanks to those who follow me, even from home, and ‘merci beaucoup’ to those who are here. In recent years I have learned that dreaming is the most important thing.” These are the first words of an emotional Jasmine Paolini after her victory in the semi-final at Roland Garros. “It was a difficult match, at 17 she plays very well and is so complete – said the Tuscan of her rival Andreeva -. A month ago she beat me, today I wanted to do better and it worked. However, at the beginning I was nervous, then ball after ball I relaxed and now I’m really happy to have won.” The 28-year-old Tuscan – who thanks to this result will rise to n.7 in the WTA ranking – is the fifth Italian to reach the final in a slam tournament after Francesca Schiavone, Sara Errani, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci.
