Jasmine Paolini successfully enters the year-end Masters. The Italian dominated Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in two sets, back after several weeks’ absence.
For her first appearance at the year-end Masters, Jasmine Paolini didn’t waver. The Italian beat Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in two sets, 7-6 6-4. Rybakina made her comeback on Saturday, after forfeiting the second round of the US Open two months ago. An encouraging comeback for the former Wimbledon winner, despite her defeat.
For her part, Paolini takes the lead in the purple group with Sabalenka, whom she is due to face on Monday. In addition to singles, the Italian is also entered in doubles with compatriot Sara Errani. They will face the Americans Krawczyk and Dolehide on Sunday. A busy schedule awaits the reigning French Open and Wimbledon finalist.
