The world no. 35 will be looking to reach a second straight quarterfinal after her run to the last eight in Cincinnati last week. It was the first time that the Italian reached the last eight of a WTA 1000 tournament in her career, and that too after making the main draw through the qualifiers. but she couldn’t keep the run going as was stopped by Coco Gauff.
Paolini is 30-22 across levels this season. The 27-year-old reached her only WTA final of the season in Palermo but could not add to her only title she won in Slovenia in 2021. She was also a finalist in two WTA 125 tournaments this year, winning in Florence and finishing runner-up in Makarska.
