Paolini qualified again for the Finals. She has the smallest physique among the eight “teachers”: her speed of legs and thought is a splendid exception. In recent days the Ukrainian Kostyuk has complained about Sabalenka and Swiatek (“taller and bigger than me”). So what should the blue girl say?

The second participation is worth more than the first. Because in tennis, and not just in tennis, confirming yourself at the top is much more difficult than getting there. In the case of Jasmine Paolini, the effort requires additional effort, dedication and commitment. And it deserves double, triple applause.
