While the Italians dream of Jannik Sinner's title, in the women's draw of WTA Rome, hope is named Jasmine Paolini. The world number five had the support of her people in a closely contested match against the always tough Jelena Ostapenko. But the Italian managed to recover from a 2-4 deficit in the first set and secured the victory 7-5, 6-2 after an hour and 46 minutes of play. The next opponent for Marc López's protege will be Diana Shnaider.
