French Open: Paolini Powers Past Rybakina To Reach First Grand Slam Semifinal
Italian Jannik Sinner: Jasmine Paolini pulled off a sensational upset by beating fourth seed Elena Rybakina in three sets in a women's singles quarterfinal as she became the second Italian player after Jannik Sinner to reach the semifinals at the French Open here on Wednesday. Paolini quelled a second-set fight back by Rybakina to win 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 at Court Philippe-Chatrier.
It will be a first semi-final at a major for Paolini who’ll play either Aryna Sabalenka or Mirra Andreeva in Thursday’s semifinals. On Tuesday, fellow Italian Jannik Sinner booked his place in the men’s semifinals where he’ll play Carlos Alcaraz on Friday.
After a spectacular opening set, Paolini twice led by a break in the second set, and then twice more early in the decider before a gritty Rybakina fought back. But in a nailbiting decider, it was Paolini -- who was playing in her first major quarterfinal -- who held firm at the close of the biggest match of her career so far.
