One of the characteristics that has led Jasmine Paolini to have an impressive evolution in the ranking is her nonconformity. She has recovered from setbacks time and time again, pushing her limits until, for example, debuting at the WTA Finals 2024. The Italian was playing for a spot in the semifinals against Qinwen Zheng, and after a resounding defeat with a double 1-6, she explained herself in a press conference in very self-critical terms.
"Playing a match like that is unacceptable, even though Zheng played great. It was a bad, negative match. I was very nervous and couldn't find solutions. I made many mistakes, and she started serving better and better. It hurts, because I haven't been even close to her. Tomorrow I will have the chance to play better, it's good to have another opportunity in doubles. I want to forget this match as soon as possible," said Paolini, who is still alive in the doubles alongside Sara Errani.
