Italian Open: Paolini Survives Jeanjean Scare To Set Up Mertens Clash In Round 3
Jasmine Paolini: Defending champion Jasmine Paolini survived a turbulent opening-round test at the Italian Open on Thursday, battling past qualifier Leolia Jeanjean 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-4 in a gripping contest that lasted two hours and 55 minutes.
The Italian, seeded ninth, endured an error-strewn display in front of her home crowd, finishing with 57 unforced errors despite producing 54 winners. Her performance fluctuated wildly throughout the match, leaving spectators alternately inspired and frustrated as they watched her attempt to carry their top-ranked home player into the third round.
“I was a little bit nervous. A lot of ups and downs. She played a great match. Was a tough one, but I'm happy I stayed there and managed to come back after the tough first set,” Paolini said in her press conference.
