Command Analysis

Jasmine Paolini

Current form
Paolini has never shone in Rome throughout her career and had not made it past the second round until this year. This time, the Italian was able to make it to the 1/8 finals, interrupting a series of failures at home competitions. She beat Song and Jaber 6-4, 6-3 with the same score in the tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Due to the fact that Paolini does not have outstanding anthropometric data, she relies in her game on reliable work on the back line, good reception, and speed when moving around the court. At the same time, Jasmine is always ready to take advantage of her opponent's mistake and finish a separate draw precisely in place.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the season, Paolini has played 26 matches in the tour, in which she scored 18 victories. The Italian is currently the fifth racket of the world.

Jelena Ostapenko

Current form
Ostapenko has already won the title on clay. In Stuttgart, Elena shone, in the final she beat the first racket of the world Sobolenko (6-4, 6-1).

In Rome, Ostapenko played one match, in which she defeated Shramkova (1-6, 6-4, 6-3). She did not play in the third round, as Siegemund withdrew from the tournament.
Professional qualities
Elena is famous for her super-aggressive tennis, plays in an attacking manner, and does not delay draws. When she's on a roll, she can get any opponent on the tour out of her way.
Current indicators in the tour
Ostapenko's statistics for the season are not the most impressive: 13 wins and 11 losses. However, besides the title in Stuttgart, she has the final in Doha on her account. In all other tournaments, Elena did not go through more than one round.
