Jasmine Paolini exults but does not forget

The words of Jasmine Paolini

Jasmine Paolini è returned to talk to the WTA website on the eve of the Cincinnati Open. "It&#39s been a crazy year, never would I have imagined myself winning an Olympic gold medal and playing two Slam finals. I am really happy, I hope to keep this level as long as possible because I am having fun, I am having so many new experiences, all exciting"

"Last year I was here in the qualifiers and this year I am here as number 5 in the world, è crazy,” he recalled. “It woné t be easy because as the top seed I have a bye and I will start in the second round, but I come from weeks on clay in Paris. I will have to adapt, the courts here seem very fast. The goal è to play well, focus on the match and not think about the ranking I have now".

Still closing on the Games: "The Olympics è a very meaningful experience for me. As a player you think about the Slams, the WTA 1000s, you don&#39t have the goal of the Olympics so clear in your mind. Last year Sara asked me to try to qualify, I knew it was important for her to win a medal. We played doubles so many weeks to get there. To have won the medal è it is a great thing, because è è something more global, universal, it also attracts people who normally don&#39t follow tennis. It's been different for me than the Slams, but maybe for the Italian population of more; great. Doing it with Sara even more; we have a very good relationship and it has also helped me so much to improve in singles".

Filling in on Wimbledon: " It's the most important tournament for any player. The first two days after losing in the final were tough, but getting there è something to be proud of. It was a wonderful two weeks that I was able to experience with my family lì with me and my team".
