Fourth seed Jasmine Paolini is set to face unseeded Ajla Tomljanovic in the second round of the 2025 French Open. Paolini opened her campaign with a hard-fought three-set win over Yue Yuan, while Tomljanovic eased past fellow Australian Maya Joint in straight sets.

The Italian enters this clash with serious momentum, following a historic double win in Rome, claiming both the singles and doubles titles (alongside Sara Errani), a feat not seen in over 40 years. A finalist at Roland Garros last year, Paolini returns as a strong contender.

Tomljanovic, a seasoned competitor, reached her best result at the French Open back in 2014 with a fourth-round finish. Though this marks their first-ever meeting and Paolini stands as the clear favorite, however, the clay of Paris is no stranger to upsets, making this an encounter to keep a close eye on.

Jasmine Paolini vs. Ajla Tomljanovic Preview

Paolini had a modest start to the season but found her stride with back-to-back semifinal runs in Miami and Stuttgart. She made headlines in Rome by winning both the singles and doubles titles, becoming the first Italian woman in nearly four decades to achieve the feat.

Along the way, she beat top-tier names like Coco Gauff, Peyton Stearns, Diana Shnaider, and Jelena Ostapenko. Now in peak form, Paolini holds a 22-8 record this season, with 40 aces, a 68% first-serve win rate, and a sharp 49.8% break point conversion.

Tomljanovic, by contrast, has had a stop-start year. After early exits in Melbourne and Singapore, she reached the semifinals in Austin but hasn’t passed the second round at any WTA event since. Aside from a Round of 16 appearance in Charleston and a recent semifinal in Rabat, which ended in a withdrawal due to illness.

With a 12-11 record, the Aussie has posted solid numbers: 39 aces, 65.9% first-serve points won, and a 42% break point conversion rate, but hasn’t yet found consistent momentum.
