Jasmine Paolini explains the reason for her flop
Jasmine Paolini in a press conference confessed all her disappointment over her defeat in the Olympic tournament against Slovakian Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, world number 67. L'Azzurra expected something more but è stumbled into a difficult day: "I had so many chances in the first set and I couldn't take advantage of them. I did not feel 100 percent clear. The ’emblem è the 5-4 in the third set where I pulled off two easy forehands. Today è it was tough. There’was a bit of nervousness because I’ wanted to do well. I was more tense than her and it è showed at the end of the games".
"Physically I was not at my best today, but the heat is there’è for both of us. The tension I think affected. I was more discontinuous than her within the game. I will learnò from my mistakes".
Jasmine aims for redemption in the doubles with Sara Errani: "I want to play a little bit’ more consistent and more focused. Hopefully it will go well becauseé I really care about it and I have been working on it a lot this year. Now I’ll rest for half an hour and then we’ll start the warm-up”.
