- From also-ran to 2 x Grand Slam finalist in less than a year. The TP team discuss the extraordinary rise of Jasmine Paolini.
Watch the full episode here: • Live from Wimbledon - ... - Sport
To address your query of what changed in her game from the last few years. I have been watching her for the past four years and there are several changes that I've seen and heard her speak about. She was very good but lacked the consistency from match to match and within matches. She was without her coach at any of her matches except the ones in Europe nearer home. That only changed around two years ago. She would talk about having a videographer film her matches which was at around the time Renzo accompanied her on tour.They would analyze her play, she spoke about enjoying that and it helping her a lot. She strengthened each aspect of her game. She's gotten much fitter this year. She's been an absolute joy to watch play and evolve her game.
She also improved a lot playing doubles with Sara Errani, volleys, etc.
I read she was also having problems with her racket, spring 2023 she changed her racket and suddently everything changed
She changed trainer in 2020 or better yet her trainer could finally train her full time , having lost 2020 and 2021 almost completely due to the pandemics She improved in the last two years and we can see the result
I'd not even heard of Jasmine Paolini until this year, which is why I was surprised at learning that she's in her late 20s already. I love watching her play. From cursory analysis, she's an excellent mover on the court, which I feel is her biggest strength. She's got an ATP forehand (like Swiatek and Kasatkina) and very solid two-handed backhand. And she plays a smart, all-court game, which is very unusual for a shortish player. The most eye-catching thing about her is her joy on the court and the fact that she smiles a lot. Reminds me of Jabeur and Carlitos and Tiafoe. I've joked recently to my friends that she is the greatest hobbit tennis player ever. ;)
Time is a sort of convention.
Let's be focused on what's really important: everybody's improvements, or 'click' or 'miracles', whatever.
I love her determination to win or better say:
her extremely determination not to lose.
And above all, and let's dream this, if she plays a better tennis, day after day, step by step, bit by bit, point by point - and with that 'aggression', and with that unconventional height for tennis -, she'll be remembered as the Maradona of tennis!😂
She gives me JOY!
❤🙏
@@laurachiar6086I agree, you can see from every move and expression that she is just so happy to be on the court, she emanates joy and my goodness if we need some of that!!
Playing with joy is what makes her so endearing to fans.
Paolini is also lucky. Her title run at Wimbledon should’ve ended with Madison Keys. She was very fortunate keys was injured and pulled out of the match.
@@timothylee2772mais foi devido a correria que a Paolini colocou no jogo que fez a keys se lesionar né ,ela mais se machucou sozinha
@@timothylee2772Paolini went to RG final beating Rybakina among others in the quarterfinals, and Andreeva the new young star in the semifinal. Navarro had just destroyed Gauff when she was destroyed by Paolini.
Considering the no 5 in the world Ms Paolini as being inferior to others, even those ranked lower, is naive. Why would that be? Because she is short? She can beat anyone though in a bad day without a powerful serve it is more difficult for her. Today she had little serve and did not play well but won anyway the Wimbledon semifinal.
She was not there before, to answer the people in the video, because some players grow in technique and confidence, some others go down in both. Mind is very important in key moments, but also intelligence of play and hitting hard, having the technique, and much more.
@@timothylee2772 How can be lucky? Phisical resistence is part of the sport. If she achieved to have the opponent injured, it's because of her phisical good shape and resistance.
@@timothylee2772there's an old saying that goes "the harder you work, the luckier you get". Ms. Paolini has worked very hard this season, it will be a pleasure to watch her raise another trophy, whichever way the final goes. Sad for Madison Keys who may miss Paris as well if recovery isn't quick. But it's unfair to suggest this win was handed to Jasmine at all.
She changed coach. In my opinion this is the main reason of her transformation. I think Renzo Furlan is one of the best coach in tennis.
She's been with Renzo since 2017. So for 7 years, a long relationship.
The one prediction I got right in tennis was that Paolini would get to be a top10 player. She already had everything in her game, she really only needed consistency and the marginal gains a player can get even later in their career. You said Paolini was a good draw last year (and she was, since she lost R1), but actually her trajectory had already started to go up, and she'd shown she could improve by battling it out with even there best players. She'd chosen to have her coach with her at most tournaments, and to play every week with Errani, who's basically her supercoach by now and who helped her a lot with confidence, volleys, and having the right attitude to actually win matches.
Her "good draw Paolini" time was actually the moment she laid the groundwork for slam finalist Paolini, and I'm so happy she made it because she's a joy to watch and she really does bring something different to the WTA, especially now that Ons is not at her best.
In the end, when she got to the final in Paris last month, I knew it wasn't the end of it. She had all the tools, and she'd learned how to use it. Now, whether or not this will remain her best season, she really can be a menace for everyone, and not by chance.
There are two pieces of data about Paolini that are amazing. The first, she reached the final in the same year at RG and Wimbledon. Listening to those who had succeeded in the feat before her, one understands that it is an achievement of a great player. The names mentioned were all No. 1s and tennis legends.
The second fact is that before this year's tournament, she had never won a match at Wimbledon. We can say that she learned to play on grass this year. She has implemented her play on this surface with ease and simplicity.
Paolini has tennis skills from a great player. These are innate and built with work over the years. She is still increasing them because her play has improved after RG. We don't know where she can get to. Her smile will tell us.
L'ultima che c'è riuscita è la Williams 😂
She is my kind of player. She has great skills and heaps of personality. I hope she wins Wimbledon.
Paolini is full of exuberance, she is a joy to watch
Renzo Furlan is a great coach. He is so humble and behind the scenes, that he was also the X factor that helped Francesca Schiavone winning Roland Garros in 2011.
So happy for paolini the best is yet to come
It's time to fly Jasmine 🎉🎉🎉
She has a beautiful personality, win or lose! But I definitely hope she wins, because she’s an awesome player!!❤
Her ratings will be spectacular. 💥
she has what many other female players lack: fast-twitch explosiveness in both her shots and her movement. plus, a really good attitude on court. the only thing she lacked in the past was consistency & self-belief. now these features have taken her to another level. will be interesting whether Krejcikova can weather the storm...
I had to leave the room se real times during the match, I was so nervous for her. They both played an amazing match 🎉
I never knew shes capable of this
Italian tennis school, sinner, musetti, berrettini, paolini, etc. Not just a champion.
That's strange, I saw her first time last year, and I texted that she has a good chance of becoming GS champion, I mean I was very very pleased to watch her game her shot selection to me at that first impression were like honey, Her game is smooth yet with measured power only when she goes for winners, I mean,,, Tennis is sometimes hard for fun's when our favourite retires ,,,,, I didn't have a chance to have my favourite since Henin,,,,,But here comes Paolini,,,I love watching her playing and winning the slam well that will be ,,,,, Yah.
Loved Justine Henin. Love Jasmine Paolini.
She's from northern Tuscany like Lorenzo Musetti and earlier Davide Sanguinetti. Nice place for tennis players
The final between Paolini and Krejcikova just shows how well the grass courts suit to the modern tennis.
So how can somebody make such a huge improvement at her age? I think Iga definitely needs to seek out and poach her coach if she's ever going to win Wimbledon! 😅
Jasmine sunshine
Both finalists seem like very nice people. I am rooting for Krejcikova but would of course not be majorly disappointed if Paolini wins.
I will enjoy the final very much, Krejcikova really touched my heart when she was moved to tears remembering her mentor. I hope they will both play their best game and may be the better player to win! However it ends with a fairy tale final, with both cinderellas battling for the highest prize but they have already won!!!
@@BarbaraCorrias-mh7en Krejcikova is just a nice, normal young woman! None of that diva nonsense some entitled tennis starts display. Did you see the elderly couple in her players' box? They are the owners of a bead & breakfast in Wimbledon. Krejcikova stayed there for the first time in 2015 with her mentor Jana Novotna, they randomly came across it. The owners are very nice so they became friends over the years and she gives them access to her matches when she plays in Wimbledon. Very nice touch, and I love that she doesn't stay in some fancy hotel now that she has money, but continues to stay in a simple little bed & breakfast.
Its always been that way minus the top four, credit were it's due,dont browbeat, just acknowledge passion and the exuberant desire to achieve against the odds.
Pocket Rocket, but more Atom Ant
Love her!!!
It will be very difficult beat her in the finals; she's toughest
Like in Roland Garros?
She's a great story, but her runs at the last two majors are indicative of the lack of quality at the top of women's tennis at the moment, besides the top 4 players.
you may be right. Or wrong. I think Paolini is here to stay. Can we agree that if Paolini will reach the Finals and will have good results at USopen and AUSopen, we have just witness a giant lfast eap forward from a player that figured out her own tennis puzzle and not a general decline of quality on the players from 5 to 20?
You're probably right, but I find her completely delightful to watch...
I would argue this is indicative of the amazing quality of WTA🙌
Are you saying she isn’t a top player? She beat Rybakina at French Open
Her wins have nothing to do with other players in the WTA, shecwas phenomenal
Sinner is the reason her levels have been dragged up🇮🇹👏👏👏
Yeah: it might be, tough!
Yes, he's such an inspiration for her.
That's one of the many reasons why she's improving a lot.
I wish she could play her best tennis very soon.
See her muscles
Unfortunately I don't understand english well...David picked 12 months ago Jasmine as an example of good... what? Please help
Credo che dica "drawer" nel senso di partecipante, una che fa parte del draw-tabellone
ha detto "David picked Paolini as an example of a good draw", good draw -> buon sorteggio. perciò secondo lui era una delle "migliori" giocatrici contro cui essere sorteggiate, ossia una delle più facili da battere, proprio perché fino ad allora non aveva mai passato il primo turno di uno slam e non aveva praticamente mai vinto sull'erba
@@davidegalbusera9019 Più o meno, ma non dice "draw" ma "drawer" come aveva già detto francesco
@@jkmertz7140 riascoltando, sembra anche a me che dica "drawer" e dice "plucking", non "picking" (ma lì ero andato a memoria, senza riascoltare l'audio). è comunque molto strano, perché drawer significa cassetto, o disegnatore, e non l'ho mai sentito usare col significato di "giocatore sorteggiato" o "partecipante". mentre "he/she is a good draw" nel senso di "è un buon sorteggio" (-> per chi ci gioca contro) l'ho sentito usare. cmq lei è madrelingua, e se ha usato drawer sarà corretto, oppure è stato un lapsus, può capitare
@@davidegalbusera9019 Si, loro usano draw sia per sorteggio che per tabellone, il senso (e che lei stava amabilmente prendendo per Q il collega) comunque credo che sia quello che abbiamo capito tutti e 3 noi che abbiamo risposto qui.
C'è comunque da dire che questi madrelingua con il loro connected speech si mangiano le sillabe, quindi le parole "good drawER (AT) wimbledon" sono molto strette.
A orecchio continuo comunque a sentire "drawer", che neanch'io avevo mai sentito usare riferito a sorteggi e tabelloni ma ai disegnatori, ma conoscendoli non mi meravigliava che fosse un loro modo di dire non informale.
👍👏❤️
💚🤍❤️💪
Vekic was far better than paolini ...!!!
Body build up too
What's happening at 8:04? making faces, can't keep her composure, obviously laughing, then 8:23... ?!???
6-1, 6-2 for Krejčíková.
Quit pushing your morals and trying to indoctrinate listeners with your woke morals, people are super free to judge and express what they think and feel about players...my girlfriend who has never seen a Vekic game ever, yesterday first thing she pointed is how Donna looked she was suffering and I told her that's just her face always.... It's like Poots always looks like having an attitude, or Nadal looking mega serious not smiling in change if ends unlike Alcaraz for example...
Grazie Jasmine.. another step more...
