On the evening of Friday, August 16, the matches of the 1/8 finals of the “thousand” in Cincinnati will take place on the courts of the Lindner Family Tennis Center. In one of them, Russian Mirra Andreeva will fight with Italian Jasmine Paolini. The girls draw 1:1 in head-to-head matches, but this is the first time they will meet on a hard court. It is interesting that in today’s confrontation, bookmakers give preference to Andreeva, although Mirra, unlike Paolini, is not even in the top 20. You can bet on the Russian’s victory with odds of 1.73, while the Italian’s success is estimated at 2.12.
Jasmine Paolini performs in Cincinnati as the 5th racket of the world. The 28-year-old Italian has done a lot on the court this season. In the spring, she won the thousandth hard court in Dubai. And at the recent Olympic Games in Paris, Paolini won gold in doubles. It is curious that Paolini started this season at 30th place in the WTA ranking, but in six months she managed to break into the top 5. At the same time, the Italian had a hard time switching from clay to hard. Jasmine played her first match at the thousandth event in Cincinnati against the Russian Anastasia Potapova and won it not without difficulty – 7:6, 6:3. Paolini gave up her serve three times in this match, but at the same time successfully fought against someone else’s, making 5 breaks.
Mirra Andreeva continues to qualify for the tournament without a single defeat. In both matches at the “thousandth” the Russian did not give up a single set to her opponents, and she never lost her serve. Andreeva demonstrates mature and intelligent tennis beyond her tournament years. With an excellent style, without any chance for her rivals, Mirra defeated American Emma Navarro (6:2, 6:2) and the eminent but older Czech Karolina Pliskova (6:2, 6:3).
During the current season, Andreeva and Paolini managed to exchange victories. Mirra won the 1/8 finals of the “Mille” in Madrid (7:6, 6:4), and Paolini confidently took her revenge in the semifinals of Roland Garros – 6:3, 6:1. Note that both of these matches took place on clay.
