Personal life

Paolini was born to an Italian father and a mother of Ghanaian and Polish descent.[2]

Professional career

2015: WTA Tour debut

Paolini was given a wildcard into the main draw of the doubles tournament at the Italian Open, partnering with Nastassja Burnett.

2018: First WTA wins

After failing to qualify for the Australian Open, Paolini joined the Italian team in the Fed Cup on two occasions.

On 1 May 2018, at the Prague Open, she won her first match as a lucky loser over a top-20 player when she beat Daria Kasatkina, and the following day, she defeated Anna Karolína Schmiedlová.[3]

2021: First WTA singles & doubles titles, Olympics & top 100 debut, WTA 1000 third round

Entering the US Open unseeded, Paolini defeated Yaroslava Shvedova in the first round 6–3, 6–4, but then fell to 18th seed Victoria Azarenka.

She won her first titles in doubles and singles, respectively, at the Hamburg European Open in July, and at the Slovenia Open in Portoroz in September, defeating three seeded players en route. As a result, she moved in the rankings to world No. 64, on 20 September 2021.

In October, she reached for the first time the third round of a WTA 1000 tournament at the Indian Wells Open as a lucky loser where she defeated 14th seed Elise Mertens in the second round.

2022: Top 50 debut, second consecutive Indian Wells third round, first top-10 win

She repeated the feat at the Indian Wells Open reaching again round three, defeating second seed Aryna Sabalenka for the first top-10 win in her career.[4] As a result, she entered the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid and her home one in Rome directly into the main draw.[5]

Notes
  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
  2. 2013: WTA ranking–624, 2014: WTA ranking–327.
  3. The $10,000 tournaments were reclassified as $15,000 in 2017. However, there were some $15,000 even before 2017.
