It’s a special time of the year for Jasmine Paolini as she returns to her home tournament in Rome, where she made history last year, becoming the first Italian player—woman or man—to capture the title there in 40 years.
And there’s a cherry on the cake.
She’s spending her 100th career week in the Top 10 of the WTA rankings this week, all of them coming consecutively since she made her Top 10 debut on June 10th, 2024, after reaching her first Grand Slam final at Roland Garros.
Five weeks after that, after reaching her second Grand Slam final at Wimbledon, she made her Top 5 debut, and in October of 2024 she reached a career-high of No. 4.
She’s currently No. 8 on the WTA rankings.
