Rome, 17 May (LaPresse) – ‘I can't believe it. It's incredible to have this trophy in my hands, I'm so excited. Thanks to my team, my family, and a few friends up there in the stands who always support me. It's thanks to them that we have this cup in our hands.’ These were the words of Jasmine Paolini, winner of the women's title at the Internazionali d'Italia, on Centre Court after receiving the trophy. "Thanks to the crowd, who were amazing. It's a dream to be here. I came here as a child to watch this tournament and never even dreamed of lifting this cup. Thanks for the support of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella. At the end of last year, we went to the Quirinale, and this time we managed to bring it to the Foro Italico. It's been a dream two weeks, but it's not over yet. Tomorrow we have the doubles, I'm not forgetting that, we have to stay focused. I hope you come a little earlier tomorrow (for the final between Sinner and Alcaraz, ed.) because we need you, see you tomorrow," she concluded.
