Overview

• Jasmine Paolini defeated Katie Boulter 6-1, 6-2 in just one hour to secure a third-round spot at the Madrid Open.
• Paolini's superior clay-court pedigree, including a French Open final appearance, was evident against the less experienced Boulter, who has played only five main-draw matches on the surface.
• Boulter struggled with consistency, committing 21 unforced errors as Paolini's variety and precision dictated the match.
• Paolini will face either Maria Sakkari or Magda Linette in the next round as she continues her strong clay-court campaign.
• British players Sonay Kartal and Emma Raducanu are scheduled to play later in the tournament, with Kartal facing Elina Svitolina and Raducanu taking on Marta Kostyuk.
