Jasmine Paolini set to fall to her lowest ranking in nearly three years after early exit at the China Open

Jasmine Paolini is facing a significant drop in the tennis rankings following a three-set loss to Daria Snigur in her opening match at the China Open. Because she is also shedding points from previous deep runs in Beijing and Wuhan, the Italian star will fall outside the top thirty for the first time in nearly three years.

Despite a difficult season hindered by physical ailments and only nineteen victories across thirty-five matches, Paolini hopes to rebuild her standing during an upcoming autumn schedule that includes stops in Ningbo, Tokyo, and Wuhan. Meanwhile, she remains active in Beijing alongside partner Sara Errani to defend their doubles crown and pursue a spot at the WTA Finals.
