Jasmine Paolini is headed to the Miami Open semifinals for the first time.<\/p>\n
The sixth-seeded Paolini defeated unseeded Magda Linette of Poland 6-3, 6-2 on Tuesday, becoming the first woman to make the tournament’s final four this year.<\/p>\n
Paolini is the first Italian woman to make the semifinals at Miami. There were six instances of Italian women making the quarterfinals there, most recently Martina Trevisan in 2023.<\/p>\n
Paolini will face top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals. Sabalenka topped ninth-seeded Qinwen Zheng of China 6-2, 7-5 in their quarterfinal match on Tuesday night, capping a day where rain postponed many matches by several hours.<\/p>\n
The other side of the women’s bracket is set for quarterfinal matches Wednesday, with fourth-seeded Jessica Pegula of the US taking on Britain’s Emma Radacanu, and second-seeded Iga Swiatek facing Alexandra Eala of the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
