Jasmine Paolini’s journey at the WTA 1000 Doha tournament came to an abrupt end in the Round of 16. The world No. 4 struggled against Jelena Ostapenko’s relentless aggression, falling 6-2 6-2 in just over an hour. The Latvian dictated play with deep, powerful shots, giving Paolini little time to settle into the match. Unable to counter her opponent’s intensity, the Italian bowed out earlier than expected.
Meanwhile, in the ATP 250 tournament in Marseille, Lorenzo Sonego advanced to the quarterfinals without stepping onto the court. The Italian benefited from the withdrawal of France’s Luca Van Assche, who pulled out due to illness. In the next round, Sonego will face either Alexander Bublik or Ugo Humbert, with their head-to-head record standing at a balanced 3-3.
