Command Analysis
Jasmine Paolini
ItalyCurrent form
Paolini finished fourth in the world rankings last season and clearly has no plans to stop there. At the United Cup, the Italian tennis player demonstrated excellent readiness for performance. In two matches at the tournament, Jasmine had no difficulties with Bencic (6-1, 6-1) and Paquet (6-0, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Jasmine does not have outstanding physical data to achieve success by force. The Italian is distinguished by high speed, the ability to choose a position on the court, and hit precisely in the right direction. Plus, she has a very reliable reception.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season was a real breakthrough for Paolini. She managed to win 42 of 65 matches on the tour and thus climbed to fourth place in the ranking. This time she started the season with two victories.

Karolina Muchova
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Muchova missed half of the 2024 season due to injury and surgery, but her comeback was successful. Carolina managed to play in the final in Palermo on clay, and also made it to the semifinals of the US Open and the final of the HRD tournament in Beijing. At the United Cup, Muchova played two matches for the national team: she won 6-2, 6-2 against Helga and lost to Swiatek (3-6, 4-6).
Professional qualities
Carolina is distinguished by her versatility, feels comfortable on any type of surface, and has no weaknesses as such. We note a decent serve by the standards of women tennis and the ability to come to the net at the right moment, often unexpectedly for her opponents, and successfully complete a separate rally.

Due to health problems last season, Muchova played only 29 matches on tour, winning 22. In the world rankings, Caroline currently occupies 22nd place. Her best result in her career is eighth position.

Paolini played two powerful matches at the tournament, leaving no chance for Bencic and Paquet. However, today she has a very inconvenient opponent, it will be hard to count on another success.
