Jasmine Paolini vs. Tatjana Maria | 2026 Eastbourne Round 1 | WTA Match Highlights

Welcome along to Alexis Eastbourne Open. Day two, more beautiful sunshine. We're taking on a player who has had some struggles of late. It was tough to watch Jasmine Paolini. So racket was our call and we have LTA on this side. Serve, perfect. Last of all, Janet if you'd just like to face our photography here. Surprised a few there, then went and made the final at Wimbledon. Did some rust as we saw with the missed volley in the previous point. Having not played since the second round of... Corrects the errors from the previous point on that drive volley. The service game, Paolini. Great hand skills, the delight. Once again facing a break point, Paolini. Super recovery in the set from Tatiana Marriott. Six games to four. Three love down, didn't drop her head, kept going. Played the usual brilliant grass court tennis we're used to from the German as she takes the opener. She cushioned away. Excellent composer on that volley from Paolini. Oh, she's found the line. Asterix heard the reaction. She's not done in this match, Jasmine Paolini. Yes and that's nicely done too. The S&B working on that occasion for Paolini. Paolini, first two match points. Maria asking the question. It's another big grass court scalp for Tatiana Marriott. She takes down the top seed in eSport. She is a magnificent grass court player, the 38 year old. So tough to play against with all of the court craft. Slicing Jasmine Paolini to death as she moves through the round two on her main draw debut.
