Almost every other athlete follows superstitions and Jasmine Paolini is not an exception. She might enter Paris’s quarterfinals but her next round awaits one of her biggest competitors in the profession. While this WTA star knows how to keep her cool, her latest pre-game ritual has left her fans in splits.

In a recent press conference, Jasmine Paolini hilariously reveals her weird superstitions during the French Open tour. While asked about any special ritual she has been following before her matches, Paolini replied, “No, nothing special but you know I tried to shower in the same shower.” Paolini is not the only WTA star who has been relying on such superstitions before her exclusive matches. The list includes names like Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, and many others.

Serena Williams, known for her sheer brilliance in her professional career is rumored to wear the same pair of socks throughout the tournament thinking that it would bring her luck. In fact, she is also said to tie her shoelace exactly the same way for every match in a tournament. On the other hand, Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka’s superstition is a bit more hilarious as she often skips stepping on the Melbourne logo/signage when she plays in the Australian Open tournament.

Following such examples, Paolini’s superstition rather seemed very unique to her fans. She also revealed how she waits for about 15 to 20 minutes if the shower is occupied to make sure she continues the tradition. Given that it has helped Paolini to reach the Roland Garros quarterfinals, fans think some superstitions are good for players to maintain their confidence on the court.

Paolini pulled off an amazing victory against Elina Avanesyan by 4-6, 0-6, and 1-6. Looks like her superstitions paid her well to meet one of the strongest opponents of the major tour, Elena Rybakina

Nevertheless, Paolini’s superstition proved well for her benefits to date. However, it is not just WTA stars who follow such rituals, ATP stars like Taylor Fritz also follow an interesting tradition to keep up with his confidence before important matches.

Riddle revealed, “The face of a mf who makes us come to dinner at the same spot every single night because he gets superstitious.”

Riddle also revealed how Fritz wore the same socks during his whole Indian Wells tournament in 2022. Since he defeated Nadal in that tour, he spoke about repeating it to his girlfriend.
