Jasmine Paolini is gearing up for the WTA Finals, which get underway next month to round off the 2025 calendar in women\u2019s tennis. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Paolini was delighted to squeeze into the WTA Final<\/a>s after needing a positive Asian swing to try and push herself into contention. <\/p>\n

The Italian player has enjoyed a strong second half of the year and reached the semifinals of the Wuhan Open<\/a> and the Ningbo Open<\/a>, whilst she made the quarters at the China Open<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been claimed that Paolini might have an advantage at the WTA Finals<\/a> this year, and indeed, her form could be a major player when it comes to the winner of the competition. <\/p>\n

Paolini is currently number four in the WTA world rankings<\/a>, and that is a drop, albeit a minor one, from this time last year when she sat in fourth place. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a tricky 2025 for Paolini, who has failed to scale the same heights as she did in 2024, especially when it comes to the Grand Slam events. <\/p>\n

She has failed to reach the quarterfinal of any of the four Grand Slam tournaments and exited before the second week in three of them. <\/p>\n

However, her form in the WTA 1000 events has been excellent throughout the campaign, with a title being won in Rome and a final being reached in Cincinnati. <\/p>\n

Paolini has admitted that she\u2019s been finding it hard in 2025, not least because she has a new coach to get used to working with and she now concedes she\u2019s back on her feet somewhat. <\/p>\n

She told Sky<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m happy every time I step on the court. I feel good and I certainly enjoy certain moments, especially when I win. <\/p>\n

\u201cLast season was truly incredible, fantastic. It wasn\u2019t easy to play as well as last year, but I think I managed it, perhaps with less consistency. I won in Rome, which is a dream for Italians. <\/p>\n

\u201cBeing more consistent will be the key to staying at this level. I remember how difficult it was to break into the top 100. I was around 150, and I did it. <\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, I was unseeded in the Slams and then I got in. Every time is different. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, it was hard to change coaches, but at the same time, I feel like I\u2019ve grown a lot. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe people closest to me think I have positive energy. I hope so. They think I\u2019m always smiling, but honestly, that\u2019s not always the case. I\u2019m also a little crazy, the fans don\u2019t know that. Maybe I should show my personality a little more, but for now, let\u2019s keep it a secret.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paolini can use WTA Finals for momentum in 2026<\/p>\n

The Italian is a brilliant player on her day and has proved in the past that she can mix it with the very best on the tour. <\/p>\n

The challenge, as she mentions, is that she hasn\u2019t always been the most consistent, and that is something that needs to change next year. <\/p>\n

Paolini will be pretty gutted with how the Grand Slams went in 2025, but the fact she\u2019s still made the end-of-year WTA Finals does represent a positive end to the year. <\/p>\n

When it comes to the WTA 1000 events, however, she\u2019s showcased brilliant form, and that could make her a very dangerous proposition when the tournament gets underway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Jasmine Paolini is gearing up for the WTA Finals, which get underway next…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":342031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[22553,62,1464,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-342030","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-jasmine-paolini","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-tennis","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115460514363412776","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
