The Italian reflects on the consequences of her title in Rome and sets her sights on her aspirations at Roland Garros 2025.

The American expressed disappointment with the level shown against Paolini, but offered a reflection full of optimism towards Roland Garros.
Jasmine makes headlines by defeating Coco Gauff in two sets and becomes the second Italian in history to conquer the WTA 1000 in Rome.
The victory of Jasmine Paolini at the WTA tournament in Rome has caused the WTA Ranking to undergo a significant earthquake with important consequences for everyone, especially for Iga Swiatek who has dropped to fifth place in the Ranking. This, a week before Roland Garros, means that any of the top four, Sabalenka, Gauff, Pegula, and Paolini, could face the Pole in the quarterfinals in Paris. In other words, Swiatek, Andreeva, Keys, and Zheng, one of the four will be the opponent in the quarters for the top four seeds. We're talking about some high-voltage matchups in the quarters for this upcoming Roland Garros. Imagine a Sabalenka-Swiatek in the quarters in Paris!
Paolini's title in Rome has caused a real EARTHQUAKE in the WTA Ranking.

Iga Swiatek has dropped to position N5. That means she could face any of the top four in the quarterfinals.

Looking at the WTA 1000 in Rome, focusing solely on the Open Era, only one Italian player had managed to become champion at the Foro Italico. It was Raffaella Reggi in 1985, exactly forty years ago, a pioneer who had to wait four decades to pass the torch to a compatriot. This is the mission accomplished this Saturday by Jasmine Paolini, who also becomes the first Italian woman to win two WTA 1000 tournaments, breaking the tie with Camila Giorgi and Flavia Pennetta.

We complete the overview of the tournaments that will take place next week, all of them as a prelude to the Roland Garros giant. Perhaps one of those that will attract the least attention is the WTA 250 in Rabat, but we will focus there to follow the three Spanish players who will be participating: Jessica Bouzas, Carlota Martínez, and Aliona Bolsova. In addition to ours, Elina Avanesyan and Marí Camila Osorio will start as the main seeds in an event that will not feature any top 35 players, so we expect a very open path in each quadrant, and who knows, maybe an unexpected champion on the final day.

A piece of the puzzle that remains in the WTA 500 in Strasbourg 2025 despite the last-minute withdrawal of Elina Svitolina, the reigning champion. It has not been a problem that the event is taking place just the week before Roland Garros, as we will see illustrious names like Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina, Danielle Collins, Sofia Kenin, Emma Raducanu, and Emma Navarro there. In addition to all of them, there are two very special comebacks: Barbora Krejcikova and Paula Badosa. The Czech player has not competed at all this season, while the Spanish player has not been able to start on this clay court tour yet. Hopefully, both can put aside injuries once and for all, and the audience can enjoy their tennis in this very special week.

We all know the affection Elina Svitolina has for the WTA 500 event in Strasbourg, where she has lifted the trophy several times. That's why more than one person was startled to learn about the Ukrainian's withdrawal next week. A last-minute injury will prevent her from participating in the final warm-up before Roland Garros, but precaution has been the most important factor to consider before heading to Paris. However, the lineup in Strasbourg will still be filled with stars, but we'll tell you more about that in another piece.

It has been almost a year since the last title for the Polish player, a situation of extreme need that Justine Henin has dared to reflect upon in recent hours.
A week ago, we reported the 'escape' of Dinara Safina from Diana Shnaider's technical team. A unilateral decision by the former world No. 1 which, almost without consulting the player, decided to abandon the project and not travel to the Rome tournament, leaving aside the best Russian tennis player of the moment. Fortunately, a project like Shnaider's was not going to be short of interested people. According to the latest information, the Romanian Marius Copil has been chosen to accompany Diana at the upcoming Roland Garros, an express trial period that will test the connection between them. What do you think of this new team?
Following a short coaching stint with former world #1 🇷🇺 Dinara Safina, 🇷🇺 Diana Shnaider has now brought on former world #56 🇷🇴 Marius Copil to be her coach for #RolandGarros on a trial run in Paris.
