Jasmine Paolini responds in kind to those who think she is too short
In recent days Jasmine Paolini è has been pointed out about the difference in height with almost all her opponents, for example with the two who beat her in the finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon: the Polish Iga Swuatek, 1.76 tall, and the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, 1.78, against 1.63 of the 28-year-old from Bagni di Lucca. Here is Jasmine’s response reported by tennisworlditalia.com.
"Actually, I haven't had it pointed out to me so many times. People close to me have never set that limit for me. Certainly if I had been a few inches taller maybe it would have helped me. But who canò tell? Honestly right now I don’t pose the problem, right? I think about playing with the weapons I have at my disposal”.
Jasmine Paolini è was the first Italian to reach the final at Wimbledon but also to reach the semifinals on London’s grass. In addition, the Tuscan è was the first ever in Italy, including men, to reach the finals in the same year at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Her next goal is the Olympic Games in Paris, which will be held starting next week on the clay courts of Roland Garros as far as tennis is concerned,
With the final reached at the Championships Jasmine è climbed to No. 5 in the world, gaining two positions and gaining her best ranking ever, as Sara Errani had already done and one step below Franesca Schiavone, who è was No. 4. Moreover, in the Race ranking, the one that takes into account only 2024 results, è even number 3.
