Wimbledon 2025: Jasmine Paolini Ousted By Kamilla Rakhimova In Second Round
Rakhimova rallied to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Italian Paolini in a game that lasted just under two hours and twenty minutes.
Jasmine Paolini was shown the exit door in the second round of Wimbledon 2025 by Kamilla Rakhimova on Thursday as a run of shocking results early at the prestigious Grand Slam event continued.
Rakhimova rallied to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Italian Paolini in a game that lasted just under two hours and twenty minutes.
'It was a tough one. I'm still thinking about the second set. I could do much better. I had many, many chances, I did some stupid mistakes," Paolini said.
'I need to stay there mentally much better. My attention was going up and down all the time. I don't know why."
'It's tough to accept. I'm a little bit tired now. It was two intense months before coming here," she said.
'If I want to compete at this level I have to be focused all the time, not like I was today.
'The goal for sure in the next part of the season is to reset and mentally stay there for every point."
After reaching the French Open and Wimbledon finals last year, Paolini has not advanced to the quarter-finals in any of her last four Grand Slam appearances, although she secured the Roland Garros doubles title with her partner Sara Errani in June.
The 29-year-old's defeat against Rakhimova means that four of the top five seeds in the women's singles have been eliminated within just three days of the event.
Second seed Coco Gauff, third seed Jessica Pegula, and fifth seed Zheng Qinwen were all beaten in the first round.
World number one Aryna Sabalenka is the only top-five seed remaining after her victory against Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic in the second round on Wednesday.

Murray's autographed shirt from 2013 Wimbledon final up for auction
Andy Murray's match-worn shirt from his historic 2013 Wimbledon triumph could soon adorn the wall of a lucky fan's home, for the right price, after it was put up for auction along with other pieces of sporting memorabilia from the tournament. Murray, 38, claimed two of his three Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion at the grasscourt Grand Slam in 2013 when he defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the final. One of the three Adidas shirts the Scot wore in that match is up for grabs in an online sale held by Graham Budd Auctions in partnership with Golden Age of Tennis, with the auction set to conclude on July 13. Murray's shirt, signed by the player and authenticated by Wimbledon's head groundsman, is expected to fetch up to 8,000 pounds (USD 10,928), while his baseball cap from the same match could attract bids close to 3,500 pounds.
