Jasmine Paolini had never got further than second place in a Grand Slam before the start of the 2024 season. She had already done much better at the Australian Open, reaching the Round of 16.

And she's not stopping there. On Thursday, she will play in her second consecutive Grand Slam semi-final, after reaching the final at Roland Garros last month. The Italian outclassed Emma Navarro in the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Tuesday.

She was not expected to be the favorite against the American, who had won all three of their previous meetings. But she belied the predictions and proved ruthless, winning in just 57 minutes and two sets (6-2, 6-1).

Paolini will be looking to match her performance on the Paris clay court. To do so, she'll have to get past Donna Vekic, who put an end to New Zealand's Lulu Sun's magnificent run earlier in the afternoon.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
