Tennis: Paolini knocked out in the final, Rublev triumphs and flies to the Finals in Turin

Nothing to do for Jasmine Paolini, who surrendered in the final in the Wta 250 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The 26-year-old Italian, who in her palmares boasts a title won in Portoroz last year, has succumbed in three sets to the surprising Anna Blinkova. The blue, number 78 in the world, lost with a score of 6-2 3-6 6-2 against the Russian rival, number 138 in the WTA ranking, coming from the qualifiers. A shame for Jasmine, who, however, can be consoled to have gained good points and a season with two finals and as many semifinals, even in rather important tournaments. Not bad after the bad knee injury.
