Twelfth seed Jasmine Paolini, who is set to enter the Top 10 for the first time, reached her first Grand Slam final with a 6-3 6-1 victory over Mirra Andreeva at Roland Garros.
Paolini secured a crucial break to lead 3-1, capitalizing on her lone break point of the set. Despite Andreeva later having five chances to break back, including at 4-1 down, the unseeded player failed to convert any, ultimately conceding the set 6-3.
In 19 minutes, Paolini established a 4-1 lead in the second set, as we started seeing tears in Andreeva’s eyes.
