The Ukrainian 13th seed saved three match points in winning the second set before taking control and clinching a 4-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 win against the Italian fourth seed.

"I still cannot believe this match finished my way. I still feel my head is in the match and in a big battle," said Svitolina. "It was a really difficult match, Jasmine was playing really well. It was tough for me but I'm happy I stayed composed, fought until the very last point and here I am in the next round." Paolini had a breakthrough year in 2024, reaching the French Open and Wimbledon finals and was regarded a title contender in Paris.
