Command Analysis
Jasmine Paolini
ItalyCurrent form
Paolini had the best season of her career and is currently ranked fourth in the world. However, at the end of the year, after a grueling season, Jasmine did not shine. At the Final Tournament, she did not advance from the group, losing two out of three matches. As part of the Billie Jean King Cup, the Italian was able to outplay Uchijima and Sarmkova with class, but could not cope with Iga Swiatek (6-3, 4-6, 4-6).
