Jasmine Paolini Makes History with Singles and Doubles Wins at Italian Open

Posted : 18 May 2025

Jasmine Paolini made history at the Italian Open by becoming the first woman since Monica Seles in 1990 to capture both the singles and doubles titles at the tournament. Partnering with Sara Errani, Paolini secured their doubles victory by overcoming Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens 6-4, 7-5 on Sunday.

 

The Italian pair showed great resilience, coming back from a four-game deficit in both sets to successfully defend their championship.

 

The doubles win followed Paolini’s remarkable achievement on Saturday when she became the first Italian woman to claim the Rome singles title since Raffaella Reggi in 1985. She clinched the singles crown with a straight-sets victory over former US Open champion Coco Gauff, sealing the match with a powerful forehand on a bright and sunny centre court.

 

Paolini's dual triumph is notable as she is only the second woman to win both singles and doubles titles at a WTA 1000 event, following Vera Zvonareva’s accomplishment at Indian Wells in 2009. This rare feat highlights Paolini’s exceptional performance throughout the tournament, marking a milestone in Italian tennis history.

 

Adding to the excitement for Italian tennis fans, Paolini’s compatriot Jannik Sinner is poised to continue the country’s success at the Italian Open. As the world No. 1, Sinner is set to face Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s final later on Sunday, offering the possibility of a third Italian victory in the tournament this weekend.
