Jasmine Paolini continues to make remarkable strides in the tennis world, recently defeating American Peyton Stearns in a commanding performance to secure her place in the finals of the 2025 Internazionali d’Italia. The 28-year-old from Tuscany is not only vying for the title in Rome but also significant points that could elevate her in the WTA rankings.
With her victory, Paolini is already positioned among the top five players globally and has accumulated an additional 650 points, bringing her total to 5,515. This places her firmly in fifth position, keeping her ahead of the young Russian player Mirra Andreeva while closing in on those above her.
In the highly anticipated final, she will face Coco Gauff, an exciting matchup as Gauff looks to defend her ranking and potentially increase her own point total. Should Paolini achieve victory, she would reach 5,865 points, surpassing the Polish player Iga Swiatek, who currently stands at 5,838 points, making Paolini the new number four in the world—marking her highest ranking to date.
This trajectory not only highlights Paolini’s skill and determination but also reflects the increasing competitiveness of women’s tennis. The power dynamics may shift as players like Paolini rise and challenge the standings.
The confidence exuded by Paolini hints at a bright future for her career, and fans eagerly await the outcome of the final, hoping for her continued success on the international stage.
