It's hard to accept," Paolini speaks after her defeat against Svitolina

While the match was within her grasp, as seen with her three match points, Jasmine Paolini ultimately fell to Elina Svitolina in three sets.

The Italian collapsed in the third set, losing it 6-1. In the post-match press conference, she appeared devastated: "It's tough. We played a great match. I had my chances. She played well, I didn’t.

That’s tennis—it’s hard to accept, but I have no choice. There was a match point where I could have played better, but at the same time, she’s a great player. She played really well.

That’s tennis, and sometimes it happens.
