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?
