The seventh-seeded Paolini won 76% of her first serves and broke Andreescu four times on seven opportunities in a match that lasted one hour and 31 minutes
Bianca Andreescu, of Mississauga, Ont., is out of the women’s singles draw at Wimbledon after dropping her third-round match to French Open runner-up Jasmine Paolini of Italy in straight sets 7-6 , 6-1 on Friday.
The seventh-seeded Paolini, who also ousted the Canadian in the third round at Roland-Garros last month, won 76 per cent of her first serves and broke Andreescu four times on seven opportunities in a match that lasted 91 minutes.The Italian recorded 17 winners in total, with 14 of them coming at the net.
“I tried to be aggressive because if not, she’s going to run me too much,” Paolini said. “The goal for me was to control the point from the beginning, with the serve and the return.” Paolini’s win sets up a fourth-round clash against either Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine or Madison Keys of the United States.
In men’s play, Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., began his match against American Ben Shelton on Friday, but rain suspended play with Shelton leading 3-2 in the opening set.
