Jasmine Paolini, what happened? Ons Jabeur overwhelms her

Shock impact on the grass for Jasmine Paolini: the Italian tennis player was routed 6-1, 6-3 on her debut in the Berlin WTA tournament by Tunisian Ons Jabeur, who came from the qualifiers. A surprising negative test for the Tuscan tennis player, at the mercy of her opponent for almost the entire match.

The first set lasted a little more than half an hour and saw Jabeur assert herself 6-1: the Azzurra was disastrous on serve with three breaks conceded, and she was also very bad in response (just two exchanges won in the entire partial).

Between the first and second sets Jasmine allowed herself a toilet break to find herself, and in the second partial the match evened out somewhat, with Paolini coming close to breaking in the third game. In the fourth, however, came the Tunisian’s break, which was then decisive in winning the set and the match.

Not a good viaticum for Jasmine ahead of Wimbledon: so many free errors committed by the Italian. In the quarterfinals Jabeur will face the winner of the match between Shnaider and Vondrousova.
