With her usual smile on her face, Jasmine Paolini became the first Italian player to reach the semifinals of the American tournament at the Miami Open 2025 with her two-set victory over Magda Linette. In the semis, she will face Aryna Sabalenka, whom she has a head-to-head record of 2-3 with. Prior to that match, the world number 7 attended a press conference to assess her great form on the circuit.

"I feel very good, I am very happy. Today was a very good match and I enjoyed being on the court. I am happy with the result I achieved," Paolini said to the media. "I was just trying to save break points, it is very important on fast courts, trying to serve better in crucial points, but sometimes I need to be more consistent when I am ahead in the score."

The great moment of Italian tennis

"Jannik has helped a lot, we have the world number one, it's amazing for Italy. Tennis is growing a lot, we believe more that we can achieve great results because we see other players doing it. When I was warming up, Lorenzo and Matteo were in the area, there are many Italians, so it's nice."

Evaluation of the first months of the season

"I haven't played badly this season, but I haven't had great results either. I lost many matches, but against tough opponents. It was tough, but at the same time I kept telling myself that I was there, maybe I need a bit more confidence. Winning matches helps a lot, now I am happy to have reached the semifinals."

About her match with Sabalenka

"We are in the semifinals, so it's nice to play this kind of match. I feel fortunate to play these types of encounters. I hope to have a good performance and enjoy the match, because it is important to me."
