Jasmine leaves 3 game to the Czech and finds the n.2 of the world, who stopped Lucia’s journey in the round of 16
A triggered Jasmine Paolini takes revenge on Barbora Krejcikova and flies in the quarterfinals of the 1000 of Cincinnati. Of course, it is not the same as the Wimbledon final, but the performance of the series head number 7 against the Czech (6-1 6-2 The final score in one hour and five minutes of play) was sumptuous. An answer was expected, from Jasmine, after the bad elimination in the second round in the English Slam and the defeat, hard, in Montreal against the Japanese ito, on its debut. Paolini replied in Cincinnati, on the cement, where she historically offered fluctuating performances, but it seems that the surface in Ohio, fast, enhances its characteristics. Who knows that the feeling with Federico Gaio has not also taken, the coach who is following her for now after the farewell to Marc Lopez, who arrived next to the blue for a few weeks with the support of the Fitp.
Jas leaves no escape
–
A match without history, the one against Krejcikova, a technically delicious tennis player but really with too many physical trouble. The Czech was back from the three sets against the seventeen year old American Jovic, and was literally overwhelmed by Jasmine. The blue has not left the two -time Slam champion, currently outside the series heads but ex number 2 in the world: perfect in defense, deadly in push, very few mistakes of exchanges, very effective in the service.
The match

In the first set Paolini immediately ran away on 3-0, keeping the match control without giving Czech the opportunity to return. The double break arrived on 4-1, and closed a fraction flew away in a flash. In the second Jasmine he immediately ran away on 4-0, then granting two games to the opponent but always in complete control. For the Italian now in the quarterfinals the challenge against Coco Gauff, beaten the last twice, in the quarterfinals in Stuttgart and in the Rome final.
Gauff-Bronzetti 6-2 6-4

Bronzetti tried to play its game, and after a first set without history in favor of the Gauff, in the second part the Rimini was attacked to the two-time Slam winner, and after recovering a break the two were paired until 5-4, when Lucia gave the joke, and also the match, at the American, who in Cincinnati had won in 2023. 1000 of the career, and still a great tournament is left played by the 26 -year -old: it is not by everyone after the other two strong players such as Kasatkina and Ostapenko, both higher than her in the standings.
