Jasmine Paolini seems to be starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The Italian had not reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam since Roland Garros 2025. The current world number 17 is rediscovering her tennis at Wimbledon 2026 after convincingly defeating Maria Sakkari in the third round by 6-2, 6-1. However, she won't have much time for celebrations as she will face Alexandra Eala, the conqueror of Iga Swiatek, in the next match.

Jasmine Paolini talked about her upcoming opponent, Alexandra Eala

The Italian already knows what it's like to face the Filipino prospect, having lost to her in the second round of the WTA 1000 Dubai. Therefore, in the press conference following her victory, she spoke about Eala. "I know I will play against her. I watched a little of her last match. I think Eala's game suits grass very well. She also showed a high level in Berlin. She is a very dangerous player here. We will see how we prepare for the match. I already faced her this year in Dubai. I think the next one will be a tough match because, as I said, I believe she can play very well here.

About that match in Dubai, Paolini confessed, "It's good to have played against her already once. But here the surface is different, although it was very fast in Dubai. I think I'm going to watch some matches here because it's been about five or six months. She's playing wonderfully. She has a lot of people cheering for her, which is great for our sport because it involves more people from all over the world. She is a star in our sport, and it will be a tough battle. The crowd will be there with every point. But that's sports. I also enjoy playing in those kinds of situations, and honestly, I hope there will be many Italians there too," admitted the Wimbledon 2024 finalist.
