Wimbledon 2024: Paolini Reaches Semifinals, Makes History For Italy
Jasmine Paolini: French Open finalist Jasmine Paolini remained on course for a second successive major final as she defeated Emma Navarro in the quarterfinal to become the woman player from Italy to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon on Tuesday. Paolini rolled to a dominant 6-2, 6-1 win over the No.19 seed Navarro to reach the semifinals of the grass-court Grand Slam for the first time.
Italian women had previously lost all four quarterfinals in Wimbledon before Paolini's 58-minute triumph on Centre Court, which was also her first-ever win against Navarro -- who had upset No.2 seed Coco Gauff in the Round of 16 -- in four tries.
Down an early break at 2-1, Paolini soared to win 11 of the next 12 games, ending the match with 19 winners -- more than triple Navarro's six -- as both players hit 12 unforced errors. She only faced the one break point in the first set and saved all three she faced in the second set while breaking Navarro's serve five times in total.
