French Open: Paolini Topples Andreeva To Reach Maiden Grand Slam Final, To Play Swiatek Next
Jasmine Paolini: Jasmine Paolini continued her historic run at the French Open 2024, becoming only the third Italian woman in the Open Era to play in the final at the Roland Garros, with a straight set defeat of fellow first-time semifinalist Mirra Andreeva on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Stade Roland-Garros here on Thursday.
The No. 12 seed Italian defeated 17-year-old Andreeva 6-3, 6-1 in Thursday's second semifinal to earn a spot in her first Grand Slam final. She will be facing World No.1 and defending champion Iga Swiatek of Poland in the summit clash.
It’s the first Grand Slam final for the World No.15, who’ll move up to a ranking of No.7 regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s final against Swiatek. Paolini became the first Italian women’s singles finalist in Paris since her doubles partner Sara Errani in 2012.
