Jasmine Paolini
Jasmine Paolini (7th, Italy), who finished runner-up in the women’s singles at this year’s French Open tennis tournament, was the first to advance to the round of 16 at Wimbledon.
On the 5th day of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships (total prize money 50 million pounds, approximately 87.5 billion won) held at the All England Club in London, England, Paolini defeated Bianca Andrescu (ranked 176th, Canada) 2-0 (7-6<7-4> 6-1) in the women’s singles third round.
Paolini, who has advanced to the round of 16 of the singles at this tournament, will face the winner of the match between Madison Keys (ranked 13th, USA) and Marta Kostyuk (ranked 19th, Ukraine) in the fourth round.
Paolini, who is 163cm tall, won the first set in a tiebreak against 2019 US Open champion Andrescu, and then won six games in a row in the second set when the game score was 0-1 to secure his advance to the round of 16 in 1 hour and 31 minutes. 스포츠 토토사이트
Paolini, 28, had been on a tear until last year, when his best result in a major tournament singles was the second round, but he has been on a steep upward trajectory this year, reaching the round of 16 at the Australian Open and finishing runner-up at the French Open.
Andrescu, who has not achieved any notable results in a major tournament since winning the 2019 US Open, was aiming to advance to the round of 16 of a major tournament for the first time in about three years since the 2021 US Open, but will have to wait until next time.
In the men’s singles, Tommy Paul (No. 13, USA) defeated Alexander Bublik (No. 23, Kazakhstan) 3-0 (6-3 6-4 6-2) to advance to the round of 16.
Paul has reached the last 16 of the singles at this tournament for the first time in two years since 2022. His best result in a major singles tournament was the semifinals at the Australian Open last year.
Paul will face the winner of the match between Fabio Fognini (94th, Italy) and Roberto Bautista Agut (112th, Spain) for a place in the quarter-finals. 스포츠토토사이트
