“Today was very tough, she played very well, she hit winners from all sides. At the beginning I struggled tremendously but I kept telling myself to fight for every ball, to improve because I was serving badly. I am very happy, I will remember this match forever.”
15 victories in the first three Majors of the year is a feat never achieved by any Italian in the Open era, as is playing a WTA final in the same season on hard courts, clay and grass. But there is another statistic at a global level, which gives credit to the skill of Jasmine Paolini.

The Wimbledon final is a reward for the constant and continuous improvements, which are guiding the strong tennis player towards the full technical, tactical and physical maturity of her tennis. The Italian tennis player has achieved a milestone that no one in the history of Italian tennis had ever managed to achieve. Something epic, legendary. A milestone achieved by playing tennis from another era, at times of breathtaking beauty.
