Playing style

edit

Paolini's playing style is dynamic and aggressive, characterized by powerful groundstrokes.[137][138] She uses heavy topspin on her forehand, but hits flat on her backhand.[5][139] Due to her 1.63 m (5 ft 4 in) height, she has stated, "I wish I was taller, because I could serve better."[140] However, she possesses great speed and agility, a credit to her shorter stature, allowing her to outmaneuver opponents.[141][142]

Records

edit
  • Longest Wimbledon semifinal – 2024 versus Donna Vekić, lasting two hours and 51 minutes[143]
  • Joint highest ranked Italian female player in history (with Francesca Schiavone) at No.4[144]
  • Aged 28, second oldest player (after Li Na who was 29) to make their debut at the WTA Finals[145]
