Paolini in the footsteps of Serena Williams

Paolini in the footsteps of Serena Williams

The French Open final was not Jasmine Paolini's only success. Having qualified for the Wimbledon final thanks to her victory over Donna Vekic (2-6, 6-4, 7-6), the current world No.7 continues to surprise the tennis world almost as much as she surprises herself.

To get a better idea of the Italian's feat, it's worth remembering that the last player to have successfully contested back-to-back finals on Paris clay and London grass was Serena Williams in 2016.

Back then, the American was beaten in the French Open final by Garbine Muguruza, before winning Wimbledon a month later. Inspiration for Paolini?

Paolina is no Serena Williams. Her defense is as good as Serena's, maybe even a little better on court coverage. But Serena had a powerful FH and BH and a serve better than some men. Her offense was much better than Paolina's.
