What impressed me the most about Paolini was her constant curiosity to contribute something to her tennis

Jasmine Paolini has had a season full of progress, but the Italian, ranked 8th in the world, experienced ups and downs. Beyond the title at the WTA Rome 1000, her season is saved by the Roland Garros trophy in the doubles category. The hard court gave her some hope with that final in Cincinnati, although those glimpses will have to be the path to follow in the upcoming year.

After a few months together, Jasmine Paolini and Marc López parted ways professionally. In these last weeks of the season, the Italian player confirmed that Danilo Pizzorno and Sara Errani will be part of her new team for the 2026 season.

"Jasmine and I have known each other since 2020, when, after the long COVID-19 pandemic, Renzo Furlan asked me for technical support. The project later became a federal project, supporting all the players participating in the Billie Jean King Cup," Danilo confessed in an interview with Tuttosport.

Jasmine Paolini and her "new" coach

"The trial period that coincided with the trip to Asia was a complete success, and the existing connection with Jasmine and Sara Errani made everything easier. Thanks to having worked together before, everything was smoother, especially in providing quality from the beginning. This happens when you already know the player's method, language, and reactions. We just needed to start from scratch developing a broader plan.

We were in Valencia for about three weeks, mainly training on hard courts. We also had some sessions on clay, considering Jasmine's racket change. The customization of the racket, which was worked on by Andrea Candusso, was also important in this regard. We spent Christmas at home, and tomorrow we will be departing for Australia on three different flights."

The goal of Jasmine Paolini

"The goal was to work on multiple areas of the sport to have a greater impact and reap the benefits, thinking not only of the immediate future but also in the long term. The plan is to build step by step and further consolidate what she already has. The idea is to work now to materialize it later on. The next four years will be very important for Jasmine to achieve increasing consistency.

The main goal is to maintain her level and continue to improve. Last year, Paolini delivered excellent matches in the WTA 1000 and 500 tournaments and was more inconsistent in the Grand Slam tournaments, considering she had very important points to defend at Roland Garros and Wimbledon."

What impressed you most about Paolini?

"Her constant curiosity to contribute to her tennis. A trait that only great champions possess, like Jannik Sinner, a true example, and Novak Djokovic. Also, her ability to give just the right importance to both victories and defeats, even calming situations on the court with a smile. Her good humor is undoubtedly an added value."
