Paolini doesn't want to think too much: "I try to live in the present".
This Saturday, Jasmine Paolini will attempt to win her first Grand Slam title.
Having never played a second week of a Major before 2024, the Italian, already a finalist at Roland Garros, will be looking to make it two finals in a row.
Brilliant but impatient, the world no. 7 confided in the press. As she looks to build on her success in the final against Krejcikova this Saturday, the Transalpine explained: "I'm trying to live in the present, enjoy what I'm doing and not forget where I am. I think it's a really privileged position, and I have to keep that in mind.
Sometimes I also try to say to myself: 'Okay, have fun, enjoy it, but also stay focused and think about what you need to do to get out there and give 100%'. It's a balance, I think, between fun and concentration.
Maybe on Saturday, for the final, I'll be nervous, I don't know. But for the moment, I feel just as relaxed, and I'm surprised to be going through all this in such a good mood.
But I don't want to say any more because on Saturday, if anything, I'm going to start shaking."
