The race ends in the third round Jasmine Paolini In the WTA 1000 in Beijing. The Tuscan tennis player, seeded number 3 in the draw, surrendered to the Pole Magda Linette with the score of 6-4 6-0 in an hour and 28 minutes of play, missing the possibility of accessing the round of 16, where they would have faced the winner of the match between Donna Vekic e Mirra Andreevaand to continue the race towards the second “1000” title of his career after the triumph of Dubai. Jasmine paid for her tiredness and lack of clarity in the decisive moments of the match, where Linette instead made the difference thanks to her solidity.
The news
As already happened in the debut match against Clara Tausonthe start of the match did not please Paolini who immediately went down 0-3 with two breaks behind. However, the Italian manages to react and in the fourth game, thanks to a series of competitive responses, she scores the counterbreak to reduce the distance from her opponent. Jasmine also breaks free on serve and then breaks Linette’s serve again to level the score at 3-3 and even move ahead 4-3. In the eighth game the Italian got a 5-3 chance which would have sent her serving for the first set, but Linette saves herself with a great first winner and holds the serve. In the ninth game the forehand betrays Paolini, who loses the turn of serve and allows Linette to close the opening set by canceling two break points in the tenth game. In the second set Paolini practically disappears from the court also due to some physical difficulties: Linette stages a real domination and closes the match without any particular problems.
