Jasmine Paolini defies expectations and prepares to make history at Wimbledon, determined to prove that her best tennis is yet to come. The Italian, who has already surprised the world with stunning performances in 2024, returns to the hallowed grass of the All England Club with a renewed ambition to claim the only major title missing from her resume and establish herself among the global elite.
In 2024, Paolini experienced a truly magical season. Reaching the finals of [Roland Garros](https://apitofinal.pt/modalidades/tenis/iga-swiatek-defende-psicologa-apos-polemica-da-substancia-proibida/) and [Wimbledon](https://apitofinal.pt/modalidades/tenis/lesao-no-pe-obriga-naomi-osaka-a-desistir-da-final-de-bad-homburg/), along with historic victories at the WTA 1000 in Dubai and at the [Paris Olympic Games](https://apitofinal.pt/internacional/pochettino-adia-decisao-sobre-futuro-na-usmnt-ate-apos-o-mundial-2026/), propelled her to fourth place in the world rankings and secured her an unprecedented wave of media support, both in Italy and internationally. Although she was unable to replicate that absolute dominance in the following season, Paolini made history again by winning the Internazionali di Roma, a trophy that had never before been lifted by an Italian player. However, 2026 has been a more subdued season, with fewer moments of glory, raising questions about her ability to return to the top. Now, just days before the official start at [Wimbledon](https://apitofinal.pt/modalidades/tenis/lesao-de-emma-raducanu-deixa-wimbledon-em-risco-apos-jogo-interrompido/), the tennis player from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana speaks openly about the weight and magic of this legendary tournament.

“I have a beautiful memory when I think of this tournament,” Paolini confessed in an interview with Supertennis, recalling the ups and downs experienced at Wimbledon. “There are many good moments, but also some less happy ones. Sometimes, my memory takes me back to that lost final, which was hard to accept. However, it was a very positive tournament, and I consider myself lucky to have experienced such strong emotions,” the Italian stated, demonstrating an unusual resilience in the face of adversity.
The importance of this return to [Wimbledon](https://apitofinal.pt/modalidades/tenis/rafael-jodar-recupera-lesao-e-estreia-se-em-wimbledon-este-ano/) is heightened by the fact that Paolini wants to demonstrate that she can return to her best level on a surface that demands adaptation and versatility. “I believe I can play well on this surface, but it’s not guaranteed. I have to prove it every year. It’s a complicated surface. We only play on grass for a month, we can never fully get used to it. I feel that I have the ability to play well. I want to play, I want to compete. That’s the most important thing. Maintaining the highest level is not easy. Things don’t always go as we want, but it’s essential to stay focused and seize the moments, certainly more than I did in the last few months. If I stay concentrated, my level will return,” Paolini assured, determined to reclaim the spotlight.
Paolini’s return to the [All England Club](https://apitofinal.pt/modalidades/tenis/ben-shelton-apoia-protesto-em-wimbledon-por-divisao-mais-justa-dos-premios/) has not gone unnoticed by either experts or fans, who see her as one of Italy’s greatest hopes for winning Wimbledon. Her recent journey, marked by glory and overcoming challenges, places her once again in the spotlight on one of the most demanding stages in world tennis. The pressure is inevitable, but Paolini seems willing to turn that pressure into motivation, showing confidence in her preparation and ambition to make history.
The next big challenge will be to get past the first round and gain competitive rhythm on grass that, as she herself admits, is “always a mystery” and requires constant adaptation. The coming days will be crucial to determine whether Paolini can capitalize on her accumulated experience and natural talent to surprise her opponents and, who knows, compete in the final again. One thing is certain: women’s tennis is keeping a close eye on Jasmine Paolini, who promises not to be discouraged by difficulties and to fight until the end for the dream of winning Wimbledon and reclaiming her place at the top of world tennis.
