The story of Bianca Andreescu and Jasmine Paolini in this 2024 season goes way back. They faced off in the third round of Roland Garros, where the Italian emerged victorious (6-1, 3-6, 6-0). They would meet again in the third round of Wimbledon, with the European player once again prevailing (7-6, 6-1). Last night, in the first round of the US Open, their paths crossed once more on the court... and once again Paolini claimed the victory (6-7, 6-2, 6-4). A rivalry fueled by Grand Slam encounters that ended with an interesting chat at the net.
"She told me that I'm playing well and that she hoped to beat me next time... although I told her I hoped that wouldn't be the case (laughs). The truth is, it's very tough every time I play against her, I have to say that. We've met three times this season and it's always been very challenging," stated the Italian during the press conference after securing her ticket to the tournament's second round.
