Yasmine Paolini qualified for the final of the Roland Garros women’s tournament. The Italian, who will soon become No. 10 in the world, defeated Russian Mira Andreeva in two sets with a score of 6-3 and 6-1.

To reach the title in Paris, Paolini will have to overcome the world number one, Polish Iga Swiatek, who won in 2020, 2022 and 2023.

“Thank you very much, it has been a pleasure, thanks to those who followed me, even from home, and ‘merci beaucoup’ to those here. In recent years I have learned that dreaming is the most important thing.” These are the first words of an emotional Yasmine Paolini after her victory in the semi-finals of Roland Garros. “It was a tough match,” Toscan said of her opponent Andreeva: “She is 17 years old and she plays very well and is very complete. A month ago she beat me, and today I wanted to do better and it worked. However, at first I was nervous, then “I felt relaxed after the ball, and now I’m very happy with the win.” The 28-year-old Toscan – who thanks to this result will rise to No. 7 in the WTA rankings – is the fifth Italian to reach a Grand Slam final after Francesca Schiavone, Sara Errani, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci.
