Jasmine Paolini recently reported that after 10 years of cooperation she parted with the current coach Renzo Furlan. “I want to thank Renzo for everything he did for me. We traveled an amazing journey, we experienced unforgettable moments, including the amazing 2024 with the finals in Wimbledon and Roland Garros and winning the Olympic gold in Paris. Renzo has contributed to my development, both as a player and as a person” – she announced. It was a big surprise, especially since the trainer was elected a coach of 2024 not so long ago.
Jasmine Paolini forces show. It lasted only 65 minutes
Before this happened, the Italian did a great job in the Miami tournament. On the road to the semi -finals, she defeated, among others Naomi Osaka or Magda Linette. However, she failed to reach the finals because she was eliminated by Aryna Sabalenka. Recently, Paolini reported that Furlan's successor was Marc Lopez, who became the Olympic champion in the double game in Rio de Janeiro. First he will have a trial period for Roland Garros, after which the 29-year-old will make the final decision.
The struggles in Stuttgart, therefore, were the debut of the Spaniard as coach Paolini. The sixth rocket of the world faced Eva Lys. Both players played with each other for the first time and so far in February, when Włoszka won 6: 2, 7: 5. This time from the very beginning there was also a large advantage on the court. Already in the fourth game there was a break. And although the rival replied quickly, then three games in a row were won by Paolini and finally won the first batch 6: 2.
The second edition was even faster. Paolini quickly took the lead 4: 0. Then it was unexpectedly broken, but it was only a moment of distraction. Ultimately, the match lasted 65 minutes, and the Italian won 6: 2, 6: 1. “It was a convincing performance,” said the journalist of the Supetennis Giorgio Spalluto portal. “Victory instantly” – commented Mario Sergio Cruz from Tenisbrasil.
Paolini will face Jule Niemej in the next round. She beat Laura Siegemund 4: 6, 6: 3, 6: 4 on Tuesday. As for Iga Świątek, he will start the struggle on Wednesday with Jan Fett. On the same day, Magdalena Fręch will also come out to the court, who will face Sara Errani in the first round.
