About

In 2025, she captured the Rome WTA 1000 singles title, beating Coco Gauff in the final, and won Roland Garros doubles with Sara Errani.

How they play

Playing style

Jasmine Paolini employs an aggressive baseline game suited to her 5'4\" frame, leveraging 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.

Serve
Paolini's serve lacks overwhelming speed at around 152 km/h first serve but excels in placement and variety, with 37% wide deuce-court first serves to set up forehands and a spin-heavy second serve that kicks sharply, yielding 22% unreturned first serves.
Groundstrokes
Her forehand is a heavy topspin weapon with improved potency, generating winners and forcing errors especially inside-out; the backhand is flatter, precise, and low-skidding, effective crosscourt for counterpunching and on grass.
Movement
Outstanding court coverage and agility compensate for her height, with explosive speed enabling retrieval of wide balls and strong defense; she prefers clay but has adapted to all surfaces through anticipation and footwork.
Weakness
Limited power and height make her vulnerable to elite servers and heavy groundstrokes from taller players like Sabalenka or Rybakina, who can exploit her backhand and push her off the baseline in shorter points.
