The upcoming months on clay open the door for the season's revelations to be confirmed, while at the same time, they serve as an opportunity for those who have not yet shown their best version.
Jasmine Paolini
Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani are one of the most emblematic pairs in the women's doubles circuit. In fact, they are the current Olympic champions. However, their story goes back to 2009 when a young Paolini first saw the one who would later become her partner in battles. "I was a ball girl at the Fed Cup, and I was very stressed. Flavia Penetta asked me to give the ball to other ball girls because she didn't want it from me - she laughs - but now I'm the same, so I don't blame her. It was an incredible experience and it was the first time I saw Sara up close," she said in an interview with Tennis Channel.
Errani, on the other hand, admits that she doesn't remember that ball girl who looked at her with admiration, although she wouldn't take long to do so when Paolini started to stand out in tournaments. "I don't remember her but I do remember the moment and it was incredible. I played doubles in that tie. Later, I did start to see her in tournaments."

Although she may not be currently performing at her best in individual category, no one can argue that Jasmine Paolini has achieved her main goal since breaking into the top10: staying within it. A highly challenging mission that the Italian continues to lead, reaching 659 consecutive days within this group this week. And who held the record within Italian women's tennis until now? Correct, her current coach, Sara Errani, with a total of 658 days. It is clear that if anyone was to break this achievement, it could only be Jasmine.
👑 Jasmine Paolini solidifies her status in Italian tennis history: she is now the player who has remained in the Top 10 the longest: a remarkable 659 consecutive days.

Jasmine Paolini was defeated in the third round of the 2026 Australian Open by the formidable Iva Jovic. Without taking any credit away from her opponent, the Italian explained in a press conference why she couldn't perform at her best on the court: "I lay down on the couch after eating, and that wasn't good for my stomach. I went out on the court and couldn't move at my best, but I was trying to hang in there because I knew that with time I would feel better, but it wasn't enough to turn the match around."
