Roland Garros, all the joy of Jasmine Paolini

These are the first words of an excited Jasmine Paolini after her victory in the semifinal at Roland Garros.

"Thank you very much è it was a pleasure, thank you to those who follow me, even from home, and 'merci beaucoup' to those who è here. In recent years I have learned that dreaming è the most important thing".

“È it was a difficult match, she at 17 years old plays very well è so è complete – said the Tuscan of rival Andreeva – A month ago she beat me, today I wanted to do better and it worked. However at the beginning I was nervous, then ball by ball I relaxed and now I am really happy to have won".

The 28-year-old Tuscan, who thanks to this result will climb to No. 7 in the WTA ranking, è the fifth Italian to reach the final in a slam tournament after Francesca Schiavone, Sara Errani, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci.
