A great Jasmine Paolini defeated Veronika Kudermetova to advance to the final of WTA Cincinnati 2025. The Italian managed to dominate the Russian, although she faced some difficulty after being surprised in a second set that she had completely under control. The match was decided in three sets (6-3 6-7 6-3), confirming Paolini as a model of perseverance on the court. On Tuesday, she will return to the 8th position in the WTA ranking.

Despite changes in coaching in 2025, the game of Jasmine Paolini remains strong both on hard courts and clay. With a title in WTA Rome, the world number 9 in singles and 5 in doubles is already in the final of WTA Cincinnati 2025 after another display of resilience on the court, adapting well to Kudermetova's tactics.

- A second set that became challenging

After a comfortable first set, Paolini was leading in the second and it seemed like everything would be decided in two quick sets. However, Kudermetova had something to prove why she made it to the semifinal: "I was leading 5-3 in the second set and everything was going well. I was calm, focused, and even relaxed. However, I started to get nervous when I saw the chance of getting broken for the first time in the whole match and ended up losing in the tiebreak. Nevertheless, I told myself to keep going and did my best to win in the third set."

- Tough final opponent

In the final, the Italian will face Iga Swiatek, the second most in-form player of the entire season: "It's always very challenging to play against Iga. She defends a lot and serves very well, but I will give my best and try to show the level that brought me here again. I really like the conditions in Cincinnati and hope for a good match, we will fight. I'm thankful to all those supporting me this week because I feel their support very close to me."
