I really like the conditions in Cincinnati, we're going to fight," Paolini discusses her final against Swiatek

Jasmine Paolini defeated Veronika Kudermetova in the Cincinnati semifinals. She will face Iga Swiatek in the final, a player currently in great form despite an early loss in Montreal.

The Italian said she feels good in Cincinnati and is ready to compete for the title: "It's always very tough to play against Iga.

She defends a lot and serves very well, but I’ll give my best and try to find the level that got me here. I really like the conditions in Cincinnati, and I hope it will be a good match; we’re going to fight.

I thank everyone who has supported me this week—I feel very close to them.
