Jasmine Paolini spoke in a press conference after defeating Australian Alja Tomljanovic: “I didn&#8220t think much about the points, but obviously also talking with the coach we came here trying to do the best, thinking match by match and not about last year”.

“I played well in Rome, unlike in 2024. I have to try to think that I am there, I am playing great tennis come what may. But it is also not easy not to focus on last year…that is what I am trying to do though. I’m glad that the other players have a good opinion of me, so I try to strive every day for that to last, and also in being a good person”.

“Playing on the Chatrier again is great, I played better than in the first round, and it’s wonderful. I came here trying to play well, I played well in Rome…it is a good problem to have to deal with emotion after a big win. I think about that, what happened in Rome for now I have to somehow forget it”.
“Playing singles and doubles was good today. The conditions were different in doubles, but it was good to be able to play a couple more balls. I am glad I never gave up, even when things were not going well I was there, trying to work and improve”.
