Italian joy at Roland Garros, Paolini is in the final. Andreeva in tears

A feat by Jasmine Paolini who flies to the final at Roland Garros, the second round of the Grand Slam season currently taking place on the clay courts of the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. The 28 year old Italian, number 15 in the world and 12th seeded, defeats the 17 year old Russian Mirra Andreeva, number 38 in the WTA ranking, with a score of 6-3, 6-1 in one hour and 13 minutes. Paolini will face the 23-year-old Polish Iga Swiatek, world number 1 and first seeded, for the title on Saturday. Impeccable performance from the champion from Castelnuovo Garfagnana who dominated the match right from the start, ‘breaking’ her opponent in the 4th game and defending the lead up to 6-3 in the first set, the second set was even clearer with Paoline breaking the serve to Muscovite in the 3rd, 5th and 7th games.
