Jasmine Paolini eliminated from the US Open by Sorana Cirstea

Jasmine Paolini was eliminated from the US Open, defeated in two sets by Romanian Sorana Cirstea with a score of 6-3, 6-3. The Italian, n.21 in the ATP ranking, was returning to the field after two months of absence due to a foot injury.

Paolini, "a difficult day but I'm back to competing" - "It was a tough and difficult day, with many ups and downs, but I was struggling". Jasmine Paolini said this after the defeat against Romanian Cirstea in the third round of the US Open in New York. "Tennis is an increasingly physical and fast sport, from one year to the next the level rises and it is not easy to keep up between tournaments and training", said the Tuscan athlete, observing that "physically it takes you to the limit and you get more stressed also because the calendar is busy". Jasmine, who returned to competitions after an injury that left her unable to touch a racket for four weeks, admitted that she didn't have a good match today but invited us to look at the positive side: "I'm back competing."
