Jasmine Paolini landed in the round of 16 of the ‘Cincinnati Open’ (WTA 1000) thanks to the success in two sets on the American Ashlyn Krueger (number 35 of the ranking). After a interruption of an hour caused by the rain when the meeting had just started, the blue won a very fought first set at the tie break and in which it had been left 4-2. Without history the second, dominated by Paolini until the 6-1 final.

Luca Nardi also advances. The tennis player of Pesaro, 22 years old, number 98 in the world, fished out in the main draw like Lucky Loser, beat the Czech Jakub Annok, 16th strength of the scoreboard and number 17 of the international ranking, forced to retire, for physical problems, on the score of 6-2 2-1 in favor of the blue. In the round of 16 Nardi will challenge the winner of the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Hamad Medjedovic.
