Jasmine Paolini issues injury update as she withdraws from two WTA events, ‘I’m sorry’
Jasmine Paolini has officially withdrawn from the Washington Open and the Canadian Open. The Italian tennis star confirmed the decision to skip these key events due to an ongoing foot injury.
Paolini recently completed a strong run at Wimbledon, where she reached the quarter-finals after a series of competitive matches. This performance followed an early season period where she struggled to find her rhythm in several high-profile tournaments.
In a message to her supporters, Paolini expressed regret about the withdrawal but stated that she needs this period to provide her foot the necessary rest for recovery. Her team aims to ensure she is physically prepared for the remainder of the season.
The North American hard-court swing is a significant period for Paolini. She is defending 660 ranking points this season, with the majority of those points coming from her successful run to the final at the Cincinnati Open last year. Her absence from the upcoming events in Washington and Canada marks a change in her schedule as she prioritizes long-term health.
Throughout her career, Paolini has secured two major WTA 1000 titles. Her first win occurred at the 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships, followed by a victory at the 2025 Italian Open in Rome. These results established her as a major force on the circuit and a constant contender in deep rounds of major tournaments.
