Despite Swiatek leading 2-0, Paolini seemed confident about herself. In fact, she delighted her fans by revealing that she wishes to enjoy her finals against Swiatek rather than thinking about her victory chances. “My goal is to step on court Saturday and try to enjoy the match and to enjoy that moment and to try to play a good match and to make a good performance on court,”- said Paolini.
