A great match gives Jasmine Paolini the semifinal at the Courmayeur Ladies Open-Cassina Trophy. Playing a very high quality match, the Tuscan tennis player overtook Dayana Yastremska with a score of 6-4 7-6. Now in the semifinals he will have to contend with the Croatian Donna Vekic, who beat the Chinese Xinju Wang in the quarterfinals: “I expect – said Jasmine – a match both tactical and physical, with long and demanding exchanges”.
THE MATCH
–
The Ukrainian started in fourth place, pulling one winner after another, but Jasmine was very good at containing her broadsides and making her play a lot of balls, favoring a large number of errors. The blow that gave Jasmine a hand most of all was the serve: she never lost it, conceding only two break points. “I don’t remember the last time it happened to me – he said -. I worked a lot on this shot, I’m glad that now he’s giving me a hand, giving me confidence even on surfaces other than clay.” The first set was decided by a break in the ninth game, while in the second the two reached the tie-break. At that point, Paolini kept her standard while the opponent made a few mistakes too many.
