Us Open: Jasmine Paolini doesn’t look to the scoreboard

Jasmine Paolini’s words on the eve of the Us Open

Jasmine Paolini spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport on the eve of the Us Open, in which she will have a far from easy path, starting with the first round where she will face Canadian Bianca Andreescu, champion at Flushing Meadows in 2019.

"Right now I am trying to focus on what I need to do the best I can in training to arrive ready and prepared for the debut match in New York,” said the Tuscan.” It will be a tough and difficult match, our goal with Renzo (Furlan, the coach) è to think about the work to be done for each upcoming match".

So è returned to the triumph at the Paris Olympics in doubles, paired with Sara Errani: "Winning an Olympic medal I think for a sportsman is a crazy thing, è it was a beautiful moment for us, for tennis and for all of Italy. So many people congratulated me and said they were excited. And è it was beautiful that tennis came into the homes of all Italians. When I think back on it, it seems like something unthinkable"

The Italian will face Andreescu for the third consecutive time in a Slam, after beating her at Roland Garros and Wimbledon: "It will be a very tough match, she has expressed a great level of play on concrete in the past and won here in 2019. & It is a tournament she knows very well. We have faced each other twice this year but on different surfaces. I expect a tough match, a tough first round. The goal è to get on the court and give my best, trying to impose my game. Hopefully it goes well".
