Unseeded at the US Open, Paolini upset Yaroslava Shvedova in the opening round 6-3, 6-4 before losing to Victoria Azarenka, the 18th seed. She defeated three seeded players her way to winning her maiden titles in doubles and singles at the Slovenia Open in Portoroz in September and the Hamburg European Open in July, respectively.
