Seeded number 7 of the Montreal WTA tournament, Jasmine Paolini bowed as soon as she entered the running against Aoi Ito after having a match ball in the second round. For her part, Mirra Andreeva saw Bianca Andreescu renounce shortly before the planned start of the game.
Jasmine Paolini did not put his head back to the place. Eliminated in the second round in Wimbledon, the Italian started her season on hard with a camouflet inflicted by Aoi Ito when he entered the WTA tournament in Montreal. A match that started as no one was waiting for him. Indeed, it was the Japanese who struck the first by taking the Italian service from the outset. This was only an adventure because the world number 9 immediately corrected the shot. Converting two of her first three break balls, Jasmine Paolini first erased her delay before taking the orders on the posting board.
After missing two opportunities to corsize the addition, the native of Castelnuovo di Garfagnaa concluded the first round taking the service of Aoi Ito. The start of the second round was indecisive between the 110th in the WTA ranking and the seeded number 7 of the tournament. However, as soon as the opportunity arose, Transalpine has put the Japanese in difficulty. At the third break ball, Jasmine Paolini took the service of her opponent to lead three games to one. However, Aoi Ito had not said his last word and took advantage of the seventh game to erase this break delay.

Having the tone, the Italian tried to make her opponent give in, but the world 110th has done better than hanging. After saving a match ball, she took the service of Jasmine Paolini on a white game before restarting the suspense to her second set ball. The last round started with Aoi Ito who took the service of Jasmine Paolini before the world’s number 9 response. However, transalpine has dropped and let its opponent take over the advantage. A new sequence of three games all concluded by a break has restored balance to four games everywhere.
Nevertheless, the Japanese woman threw all her strength into the battle to go back to the score with a station wagon allowing her to serve for the gain of the match. On pride, Jasmine Paolini replied to snatch a decisive game. Undecided from start to finish despite the first four points lost by the one who hired, this tiebreak turned in favor of Aoi Ito at the end of the suspense and his first match ball (2-6, 7-5, 7-6 in 2h27 ‘). The Japanese man signs the most resounding victory of her career and will face either Ashlyn Krueger or Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the third round.
Andreeva passes without playing
The Quebec public did not have the opportunity to see Bianca Andreescu on Tuesday. Scheduled in the third rotation on the central court, the duel between the native of Ontario and the seeded number 4 Mirra Andreeva was canceled following the Canadian package. Present at a press conference for a few minutes after confirming his absence on the court, the 187th world announced to suffer from the left ankle.
“I have to declare forfeit as a precaution. I have torn ligaments in my left ankle, she said. So I will not be able to continue the tournament. It’s a shame that it still happens. I don’t have a lot to say. It is extremely frustrating. An injury that has “arrived from nowhere” this Sunday at the end of the match won against Barbora Krejcikova for his entry into the running. Mirra Andreeva thus rose to the third round without having played a single minute since the start of the tournament, having been exempt from the first round thanks to her seeded status. The Russian now has an appointment with Maya Joint or McCartney Kessler, who will compete this Wednesday.
