World No. 4 Jasmine Paolini met with Italian President Sergio Mattarella following her victory at the WTA 1000 clay court tournament in Rome. Paolini and the President were photographed together with the trophy she won, celebrating her remarkable success.
In addition to her singles triumph, Paolini also claimed the doubles title in Rome, partnering fellow Italian Sara Errani. They secured their victory by defeating Veronika Kudermetova of Russia and Elise Mertens of Belgium in the final with a score of 6/4, 7/5.
Jasmine Paolini`s achievement is particularly significant: she is the sixth player in the Open Era and the first Italian woman since 1985 to win both the singles and doubles titles at the Rome tournament in the same year. This extraordinary feat had not been accomplished in the 21st century until now, marking a historic moment in Italian tennis.
