The year for Jasmine Paolini is turning out to be spectacular in terms of results, as she will once again reach a Grand Slam final for the second time in 2024. Thus, she is signing her best year at 28, an age that some might consider late. However, the legendary Billie Jean King believes that every player has their own timing and that everything comes at the right moment, it is never too late. "Everyone has their own timing, some players reach the peak of their game when they are young, while others probably just need a little more time to understand, learn, grow from all perspectives and then put it all together. From this point of view, we are witnessing a truly rare edition of Wimbledon and I refer to the women's singles: Rybakina is 25 years old, but the other semifinalists are between 28 and 29 years old," she told Ubitennis. Furthermore, the former American number 1 acknowledged how well the grass suits Paolini: "She is an amazing player, I have always appreciated her and I am very happy that in these last months she has managed to definitively express all her talent, completing her tennis maturity. She has adapted perfectly to the grass, which in my opinion is perfect for her characteristics: she plays very well at the net and has a truly spectacular forehand."

The Czech player confesses that she surprises herself for having reached so far in Wimbledon 2024 after several months of suffering.
Jelena Ostapenko fell in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2024 after losing to Barbora Krejcikova. Nevertheless, the Latvian has shown great positivity about her performance at the prestigious London tournament: "I feel like I'm on the right track. I'm improving every day. Not every day you're going to feel great and hit all your shots. You just have to try to find your game when you're not feeling well. I think I can only take positive things from here. There are still many tournaments left this year and another Grand Slam and the Olympics. Just work hard and the results will come," assures a resilient Ostapenko who is already thinking about the Olympic event.
