00:00Jasmine Paolini reached the final at Roland Garros two years ago, but her
00:04recent form has been underwhelming by her own lofty standards. After dropping
00:09out of the world's top ten, the Italian faced a tricky opener against the
00:14aggressive Ukrainian Diana Yastrzemska.
00:26That's an unbelievable angle off the forehand from Jasmine Paolini.
00:43That's well done, covered the ground quickly.
00:52It's so good.
01:03What an angle. That's where a wide serve would normally land, right on that sideline.
01:15Miss fires with that one though.
01:38And again, trying to take that backhand up the line. And the first set belongs to Jasmine Paolini.
01:51It's quite a risk, but she pulls it off that time.
02:09It's a nice combination.
02:28It's a nice combination.
02:41Well, Jasmine Paolini just absolutely loves this matchup with Diana Yastrzemska.
02:46Extends the head-to-head to seven and one now.
02:52Today was tough, you know, she's a tough opponent, especially in the first round.
02:59I mean, it was really tough. I think she won a tournament a few weeks ago, so I'm happy
03:07with my performance.
03:08I think I played a solid performance and yeah, it's hot weather, you guys drink a lot.
03:16But yeah, I'm really happy with the win.
