GUARDA: Jasmine Paolini guida il Team Italia nella lezione di surf della United Cup

Team Italy, led by Jasmine Paolini, took a break from their United Cup preparations in Sydney to enjoy a surf lesson. Despite initial apprehensions, Paolini embraced the challenge, stating, “I think I can say I like surfing now.” Teammate Andrea Vavassori, nicknamed “Wave,” appeared particularly adept, prompting Paolini to quip, “Maybe he is born to do this!”

This surfing excursion provided a refreshing diversion as Italy advanced to the United Cup quarter-finals. Paolini’s commanding 6-0, 6-2 victory over France’s Chloe Paquet was instrumental in securing Italy’s 3-0 win, propelling them to the top of Group D.

The United Cup, a mixed-team tournament, features top players from various countries competing in singles and mixed doubles matches. Italy’s strong team dynamic, both on and off the court, has been evident throughout the competition.
