Jasmine Paolini had a disappointing January after going 1-3 in Australia, but she kicked off February with a commanding 6-3, 6-2 victory over Rebeka Masarova, who had reached the Auckland final the previous month, in just 72 minutes. The Italian had 15 winners and 15 unforced errors, compared to nearly three times as many errors as winners for her opponent. Her financial situation has been improving since the middle of last year. The 27-year-old also advanced to quarterfinals in Portoroz and Parma and semifinals in Palermo and Warsaw before winning an indoor match in Cluj-Napoca. She is attempting to match her Lyon debut performance from 2022, where she lost to Dayana Yastremska in the quarterfinals.

When her compatriot retired, Erika Andreeva led Anna Blinkova by scores of 6-7, 6-4, and 4-0. (right forearm). She spent nearly six hours on the court in Lyon to advance to the second round after defeating Diane Parry and Viktoriya Tomova in the qualifiers. She had just lost in the second round at W60 Andrezieux-Boutheon in France. The 18-year-old reached the girls’ singles final at Roland Garros and was a former junior Top 15 player. She has only played full-time professional tennis for two years, but already she is attempting to enter the Top 100. She easily advanced to seven quarterfinals last year (mostly in Europe), including four at the W60 level and a few W100 competitions.
