Bluffing, Paolini impresses again: "I didn't have to change a thing".

Bluffing, Paolini impresses again: I didn't have to change a thing.

Jasmine Paolini is simply irresistible. The author of a top-class 2024 season, she has taken things up a notch since Roland-Garros. A finalist in Paris, the world No. 7 has been bluffing the world on grass. Having failed to win a match on the surface in 2023, she will now play in the semi-finals of Wimbledon.

Facing Emma Navarro in the quarter-finals, Paolini didn't even need 1 hour of play to qualify (6-2, 6-1). In a state of grace, the Transalpine player commented on her current level of performance: "I didn't have to change anything (compared to clay), the only thing is that you have to be careful not to slip.

In fact, I remember that in the first match I fell, because it's not easy to move around on grass, you always have to adapt a little.

Even now, at the end, it's a bit different, with the grass much drier from the baseline. I can say that right now, I feel good in my movements, I feel more confident and I want that to continue."

Next step: a semi-final against Donna Vekic.
