In Montreal Jasmine Paolini overwhelmed by Jessica Pegula.

In Montreal Jasmine Paolini overwhelmed by Jessica Pegula.
Bad awakening for Jasmine Paolini, who after benefiting from the withdrawal of U.S. Madison Keys was narrowly defeated in the round of 16 of the WTA 1000 in Montreal by the other U.S. Jessica Pegula, world number 3, with a score of 6-4 6-0.
Hopes of victory for the 27-year-old Tuscan from Bagni di Lucca, world number 49, were practically nonexistent since in the four previous direct confrontations she had not won a single set, and the course of today’s match confirmed this.
Pegula goes immediately up 3-0 in the first set and here Jasmine has the only gasp of the whole match recovering at 3-3. But from 4-4 the 29-year-old Buffalo native strung eight games in a row and the match ended after an hour and 9 minutes, sorry to say, of monologue.

Indian Wells: Matteo Berrettini and Lorenzo Sonego stop at the quarters with some regrets
Matteo Berrettini/Lorenzo Sonego-Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic 6-7 4-6
Matteo Berrettini’s and Lorenzo Sonego’s adventure in the men's doubles tournament at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 stopped in the quarterfinals. The Italian pair è surrendered in two sets to seeding favorites Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic who won with a final score of 7-6 6-4 after an hour and 37 minutes of play.
A few regrets for Berrettini and Sonego especially in the first partial, in which they went down by a break (2-4) due to a mocking tape, and, after recovering (5-5), missed two consecutive set-points in the tie-break before surrendering by 8 points to 6.
In the second set what made the difference è was a single break, scratched by the number one seeded pair in the seventh game thanks to a great response by Arevalo (4-3). The Salvadoran and Croatian held the break advantage until the final 6-4 with which they qualified for the semifinals of the ‘BNP Paribas Open’.
That leaves only Jasmine Paolini to represent Italy in the Masters 1000 in California: the Tuscan will challenge Russian Liudmila Samsonova, No. 25 in the WTA rankings, for a place in the quarterfinals.
