2024 French Open preview: Mirra Andreeva vs Jasmine Paolini semi-final

The 2024 French Open is nearing its conclusion. The event ends on June 09, 2024, with the women’s category concluding on June 08, 2024. The upcoming event in the said category is a Semi-Final between Amirra Andreeva and Jasmine Paolini. The former has been picked as the favorite to advance to the final stage. Actual outcomes may vary since both are deemed as underdogs.

Mirra and Jasmine will compete on Thursday at Roland Garros in Paris, France. Andreeva has dominated with her performance on clay, plus her stats since 2022 favor her on a larger scale. Her record is 82.5%, with a 52-11 tally throughout a young career. Her overall record is 78.6%, with a 92-25 compiled tally.

She has reached the quarter-finals three times in 2024, including her appearances in Rouen, Brisbane, and Madrid. For now, Andreeva is likely to face some tough competition. Many believe her journey has been a soft flow because she has only been tested twice: once against Emina Bektas and once with Sabalenka.

An event against Sabalenka was an upset, while Emina lost her fixture right in the first round. It is more about the pressure that the Semi-Final round brings with it. It is not necessarily about the opponent.

Mirra will advance if she can absorb the pressure.

Jasmine previously reached the finals in Dubai in February and has played in the quarter-finals at Stuttgart. Her plays have been on a clay court – just her upcoming opponent – and have a tally of 9-3 in 2024 and 200-112 since 2013, roughly 64.1% on the said surface. Being familiar with the surface, both players have forced the top online tennis sportsbooks to equally divide their attention among them. A larger inclination remains toward Mirra Andreeva.

Another semi-final will see Iga Swiatek fight for a final spot with Coco Gauff. Iga was the favorite at that tennis event. If Swiatek does win the round, it will be Iga versus Jasmine in the finals of the French Open 2024. That would attract more attention from fans and online tennis sportsbooks.

Andreeva lost only one set against Sabalenka. It was taken as a hint that she would find it difficult to recover. The remaining two sets saw her fight for qualification as Aryna lost her grip and the match by 6-7, 6-4, and 6-4. Jasmine had a more comfortable win in the quarter-finals. She beat Elena Rybakina by 6-2, 4-6, and 6-4. There was one set where the game went south; however, she soon bounced back for a win.

Both will now contest for a spot in the final of the 2024 French Open. The winner advances to the last lap and takes the opponent head-on for the title and the crown.
