Jasmine Paolini has reached the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time in her career after defeating Bianca Andreescu. The Italian player, seeded seventh, won 7-6 (7-4) 6-1 in a match played under the roof on Court One.
Paolini’s victory marks a significant milestone for her career, as she had never won a match at Wimbledon before this year. She has experienced a remarkable surge in her career, reaching the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time. In the next round, she will face either Madison Keys or Marta Kostyuk.
Paolini and Andreescu met just five weeks ago in the French Open third round, where Paolini emerged victorious once again. Andreescu, who has been plagued by injuries since winning the US Open in 2019, struggled to maintain her level of play against Paolini. She matched Paolini’s shot-making in the first set but lost steam in the second set and final six games of the match.
After her win over Andreescu, Paolini expressed her delight at playing a good match and emphasized her aggressive playing style to avoid having to run extensively. In other results at Wimbledon, Emma Navarro defeated Diana Shnaider 2-6 6-3 6-4 and will face either Coco Gauff or Sonay Kartal in the next round.
