I didn't come with great feelings on this clay court tour, and this posed a major challenge at this WTA 1000 in Rome 2026. It was unlikely that Jasmine Paolini could defend her title here, but perhaps we also didn't think she would fall in the first week of competition. Well, it happened in the third round, against Elise Mertens (4-6, 7-6, 6-3). A very tough defeat considering what it implies and where it happened, but not surprising given her recent results. The Italian will drop out of the top 10 after the tournament.
