Paolini takes the lead against Andreeva at Roland Garros

Jasmine Paolini won the first set of her French Open semi-final against Mirra Andreeva (6-3). The two players, not at all inhibited by what's at stake, have put up a great fight so far.

The Italian, more experienced at 28 years of age, has shown herself to be more solid in important moments. On the other side of the net, the 17-year-old Russian is playing more attacking tennis than usual, trying to thwart her opponents' defensive qualities, but so far without being rewarded.
