Jasmine Paolini’s dream at Wimbledon fades. The Italian, the first Italian to reach the final of the women’s singles in the London tournament, was defeated by the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, who won the tournament in three sets with a score of 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.
Paolini: “Today a little sad but I smile because it’s a dream”
“Today I’m a little sad. I try to keep smiling because I have to remember that today is still a beautiful day: I’m in the final at Wimbledon and as a young girl I watched this final and cheered for Federer. Being here is crazy.” Jasmine Paolini greets the crowd at the center court of the Wimbledon tournament with a smile. “From Paris to Wimbledon – added Paolini – it’s been two crazy months, and these two weeks even more so. It was beautiful to feel the love of all the fans.”
This stadium is a dream come true. I congratulate Barbara: you play such beautiful tennis, congratulations to you and your team”, Paolini added. “The last two months have been crazy. I thank my family, my team and everyone who supports me and believes in me because without them I wouldn’t be here – he continued – In these two beautiful weeks I have received so much support. It’s beautiful to feel the love of the public, I enjoyed it so much. I appreciated every moment here. I thank everyone who makes this tournament possible, from the ball boys to the umpires. I’ve probably forgotten someone but don’t blame me”.
