Jasmine Paolini beat the Greek Maria Sakkari in two sets (6-4, 6-2 in one hour and 21 minutes of the match), deserving access to the quarterfinals of the tournament underway on the hard courts of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, second WTA 1000 of the season.
There was only one precedent between the two, won in two sets by the 28-year-old from Athens and played in the second round on the clay of Roland Garros in 2021. Tomorrow Paolini will face the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, n.4 in the ranking.
