Since 1985, Italian tennis is waiting for one of their tennis players to win the WTA 1000 tournament in Rome. Although Sara Eranrani played in the final in 2014, she fell in the clash with Serena Williams and did not follow in the footsteps of Raffaella Reggi, the last Italian winner of the Roman struggle. Now, of course, the hosts of the hosts are primarily in the doubles partner Errani, i.e. Jasmine Paolini. A year ago, the Italian fell out in the second round from Mayar Sherif. However, this time it looks like it can make it happy.
Paolini wasted about a million opportunities and was at the bottom. Suddenly …
To the joy of fans, Paolini reached the quarter -finals like a storm, without losing a set even from ONS Jabeur or Jelena Ostapenko. However, on the road to the semi -final she had to defeat Diana Sznajder in good shape. It was a long time that the young Russian would spoil the fun to fans in the Italian capital because she was doing really perfectly.
The first set could be a huge remorse for Paolini. The Italian started him with two breaks and lead 4: 0. However, then something stuck in her game. Sznajder made up all the losses almost out of nowhere and the match practically started again. Jasmine had another big opportunity because she broke her rival at 6: 5 and served on the set. Again, however, she was unable to finish the work. The Russian saved herself at the last minute, which clearly broke Paolini. She broke very much.
The hosts representative lost Tiebreak 1: 7, and in the second set of Deggingload was at its best. It was Sznajder who broke her twice and led her 3: 0. However, then the 21-year-old found that the hosts could favor everything. Even the weather. The rain came, which interrupted the game for several minutes. For Paolini it was like a star from heaven. Even the first game lost after returning to the game. However, the next … six are different. The Italian almost urged her disposition, and Sznajder could not stand her pressure. Set fell in Paolini.
Sznajder could not stand the pressure of the audience. Whistles stunned
It seemed that the Russian laid down the hole better, because the decisive party began with running 2: 0. However, then good news ended for her. When Paolini equalized at 2: 2, Sznajder did not bear another outbreak of the joy of Italian fans after her failure. She began to provocatively warm up doping fans for his rival, for which she was hungry.
This situation clearly reached the 21-year-old mentally. Four subsequent games fell to Paolini, which was powered by audience energy for the second time in this match won six games in a row, and in effect the whole match 6: 7 (1), 6: 4, 6: 2. The Italian is already in the semi -final and is waiting for the better from the clash of Elina Switolina from Payton Stearns. We would like to remind you that if Jasmine fulfills the dreams of the Italian public (and his own) and win the tournament, he drops Iga Świątek on the 5th place in the WTA ranking.
