About
Born in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Italy, on January 4, 1996, Jasmine Paolini turned professional in 2011. She debuted on the ITF Circuit that year and won her first WTA singles title in Portorož in 2021. Her breakthrough came in 2024 with a WTA 1000 win in Dubai and runner-up finishes at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, propelling her to a career-high No. 4 ranking and year-end No. 4. In 2025, she captured the Rome WTA 1000 singles title, beating Coco Gauff in the final, and won Roland Garros doubles with Sara Errani. As of April 2026, she stands at WTA No. 9 with 3722 points, having reached recent quarterfinals but exiting early in Stuttgart and Madrid.

In the news
“"I'll have two people this year (in 2026). Danilo Pizzorno will be my coach, and (Errani) will take care of the tactics, because she's on another level."”
Playing style
Jasmine Paolini employs an aggressive baseline game suited to her 5'4\" frame, using heavy topspin forehands to control rallies and dictate from the deuce court. Her improved tactical approach focuses on shortening points through plus-two construction, wide deuce serves, and inside-out forehands, while her doubles-honed net skills and anticipation make her dangerous in mid-rally transitions. Excellent speed and consistency allow her to extend exchanges against power players, though she relies on precision over raw power.
