Paolini Needs Three Sets to Advance
Paolini has already won on Italian soil this year, picking up a Challenger title in Florence on clay in May.
And she would dearly love to add a win on the senior tour to that.
However, she could have wished for an easier match to start her campaign than she was given by the Dutch world number 62, Arantxa Rus.
In a first set where serve mainly dominated, one break was enough for Paolini to win it.
The pair swapped breaks midway through the second set, but, when another break came along, it went the way of Rus, pushing the match into a third set.
However, with the Italian racing into a four love lead, that proved to be something of an anti-climax, and, in the end, she was able to ease her way into the second round.

Yastremska Beats Serb Qualifier
It has been a disappointing season so far for Yastremska, who has now dropped out of the top 100 for the first time in six years.
A good run in Palermo would help her begin heading in the right direction at least.
And she made a winning start, although the 17 year old Serbian qualifier, Mia Ristic, ranked number 443 in the world, was hardly the most intimidating first round opponent.
The Ukrainian made a strong start, was two breaks to the good in no time and, although Ristic recovered one of them, Yastremska was able to ease to the first set.
The pair swapped breaks at the start of the second set, but it was mainly plain sailing for Yastremska from that point, with the Serb only able to win one more game.
Paolini v Yastremska Prediction and Tip
Whilst Paolini was not totally convincing in her first round win, with the benefit of home conditions and the local crowd behind her, and with their head to head record also needing to be taken into account, she will still be expected to beat the Ukrainian who is not having the best of seasons so far.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Paolini to win: 5/9
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 21.5 games in the match: 9/10
