At this Stage

Jasmine Paolini's tournament had opened alarmingly — a 0-6 first set against qualifier Robin Montgomery before a 6-4 7-5 recovery — so a tight opening set here carried a certain menace. The 13th seed defused it in the most emphatic way available: a tie-break won 7-0, not a point conceded, and from there a 7-6(0) 6-4 win over Viktorija Golubic in 100 minutes, with 39 winners to 17 recording who held the initiative. Golubic, a three-set winner over Iryna Shymanovich in round one, never got a second look. Paolini moves on to face Maria Sakkari — herself a deciding-tie-break survivor — in the last 32.
