Jasmine Paolini - People also ask
Jasmine Paolini is the Italian world No. 8 who lit up 2024 with Roland-Garros and Wimbledon finals and Olympic doubles gold, a fan favourite returning to the grass in 2026.
Jasmine Paolini is an Italian professional tennis player, born on 4 January 1996 in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Tuscany. At 1.63 m she is one of the smallest players in the top tier, but her speed, footwork and fearless, flat hitting have carried her to the very top, and made her one of the tour’s most popular figures.
Her breakthrough year was 2024: finals at both Roland-Garros and Wimbledon, and Olympic doubles gold in Paris alongside Sara Errani. She backed it up with the 2025 French Open doubles crown and a celebrated home title at the 2025 Italian Open, where she beat Coco Gauff. Her career-high singles ranking is world No. 4.
Based in Bagni di Lucca and still firmly inside the top 10, Paolini has had a tougher start to 2026, making Wimbledon, scene of one of her finest runs, a natural place to rediscover her best grass-court tennis.
