Jasmine Paolini recently said that her compatriot Jannik Sinner gave her some careful advice to improve her game. However, Paolini did not specifically reveal what advice Sinner gave her. The Italian WTA star is currently competing at the 2025 Wuhan Open, where, as the No. 7 seed, she has secured her qualification for the third round.
According to Paolini, Sinner pointed out a flaw in her game and explained how she could fix it to her ex-coach during last year’s Davis Cup final. Subsequently, his ex-coach relayed the message to him. Talk to Tennis365WTA No. 8 declared:
“Last year, during the Davis Cup final, my ex-coach Renzo (Furlan) was talking with Jannik and I was surprised because he said I wasn’t doing anything on the pitch. I can’t say what it is because my opponents will know then!”
Claiming to have followed the advice of the former ATP No. 1 and four-time Major champion, Jasmine Paolini added:
“My coach came to me and said, ‘Jannik said you have to do this.’ I mean, when Jannik tells you to do something, you just have to do it. How can you say no to Jannik’s advice?”

Jannik Sinner played a pivotal role in Italy as a two-time defending Davis Cup champion and is expected to once again spearhead his country’s run at this year’s international men’s team tennis event.
