Sorana Kirstea v Jasmine Paolini, the women’s tennis Grand Slam first round match at Roland Garros will take place on Tuesday 30 May at 15:15 on Court No. 1. 13 and will be broadcast live on Eurosport 1.
Sorana Kirstea will have a tough debut at Roland Garros, playing Jasmine Paolini in the first round, who is in one of the best periods of her career.
The Roland Garros tournament takes place from May 28 to June 11 and has a total prize pool of 49.6 million euros (the title champions are Iga Sviatek and Rafael Nadal).
Sorana Kirstea (Romania, 32 WTA), the No. 30 seed at Roland Garros, is having a great season, with a quarterfinal in Indian Wells, a semifinal in Miami and a trophy won in Reus (Spain) at the WTA 125 event.
However, the Romanian was quickly eliminated in the last two tournaments, in the second round in Rome (3-6, 6-3, 2-6 with Elena Ostapenko) and in the first round in Strasbourg (6-7, 5-7 with Clara Burel).
The biggest result for Sorana Kirstea (33 years old) at Roland Garros was the quarterfinals in 2009, and since then she has only made it to the fourth round (round of 16).
In 2023, Sorana Kirstea had 28 wins and 18 losses (17 of the successes came in WTA 1000 competitions).
Jasmine Paolini (Italy, 53 WTA) just won the tournament in Florence (6-3, 7-5 in the final with Taylor Townsend), also a 125 WTA event, so she ends a streak of five consecutive victories.
Jasmine Paolini (27) reached the second round of Roland Garros twice in 2020 and 2021.
In 2023, the Italian had 13 wins and 12 losses, but did not advance past the second round at any WTA 500 or WTA 1000 event.
Before that, the two athletes met only once in the WTA tournament, in 2021, in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Portorož (category 250 WTA), when Jasmin Paolini defeated Sorana Kirstja with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.
The winner of the match between Sorana Kirstea and Jasmin Paolini will play in the second round against the winner of the match between Olga Danylovich (Serbia, 105 WTA) and Kateryna Bindl (Ukraine, 83 WTA).
