Jasmine Paolini produced one of the most remarkable breakthrough seasons in WTA history in 2024, reaching the singles finals at both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. Born in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana on 4 January 1996, the Italian is a former top-four player who has since consolidated inside the world’s elite, winning the Rome WTA 1000 title on home soil in 2025 alongside the Roland-Garros doubles crown with Sara Errani. Standing 5ft 4in, she defies the power-dominated trend in women’s tennis with exceptional speed, agility and aggressive court positioning.

Playing Style & Strengths

Paolini’s game is a masterclass in maximising every inch of physical ability. At 5ft 4in she is one of the shortest players in the WTA top 50, but her exceptional speed, agility and court coverage more than compensate. She plays an aggressive, dynamic style, taking the ball early and using heavy topspin on her forehand with flatter strikes on her backhand. Her positioning inside the baseline lets her take time away from taller, more powerful opponents.

On clay she is at her best, where her movement and topspin forehand are most effective — her French Open final and Rome title confirm her credentials on the surface. Her Wimbledon final, however, showed she can compete on any surface.
