Jasmine Paolini once again finds herself forced to pause her schedule due to the physical problems she has been experiencing in her foot. The Italian number one has announced her withdrawal from the Washington and Toronto tournaments, extending a challenging period in which the discomfort has not allowed her to compete with the desired continuity. The Italian player communicated the decision through her social media, explaining that she needs more time to fully recover before returning to the courts.

"Unfortunately, I have decided to withdraw from Washington and Toronto to give my foot more rest time," Paolini wrote in her statement. The Italian also expressed her regret for not being able to participate in both tournaments: "I am very sorry not to be there, but I wish everyone a good tournament." Her words reflect a decision that aims to prioritize recovery and prevent the physical issue from worsening or lingering further during the second half of the season.

This moment comes after a particularly demanding period for Paolini, who has had to deal with foot problems and the usual difficulties of maintaining consistency on the WTA circuit. The Italian now faces a new competitive break, hoping to fully regain her physical condition before returning to competition. Last season, after her Wimbledon participation, Paolini traveled directly to Canada to play in the tournament, but her adventure ended in the first round after losing to the Japanese Aoi Ito.

Now, Jasmine Paolini's priority is to recover her foot and return when she is ready to compete at the highest level. Her absence in Washington and Toronto poses a new setback for the Italian, who will have to wait to return to competition and try to regain the lost rhythm. The decision, though painful, aims to prevent further issues and allow the player to face the remaining stretch of the season with greater assurances.
