Player Overview

Andrea Paolini, standing at 160 cm and wielding her right hand, has carved out a respectable career with a win percentage of 58.3% across 703 matches. Over the last two years, her performance has improved significantly, boasting a win rate of 64.4% with a recent upward trend, as indicated by a 60% win rate in her last five matches. Her strong clay game is evident in her Elo rating of 2071 on this surface, reflecting her competitive edge.

With no wins in her last five matches, her recent form shows signs of instability. As she faces Tamara Maria, Paolini must find a way to regain her footing and leverage her clay experience to turn the tide.
