Epsom Derby: Maria defeats Paulini in opening round
Italian player Jasmine Paolini suffered a surprising defeat against German Tatjana Maria with scores of 4-6 and 3-6 at the Eastbourne grass tournament, despite leading the world rankings by 98 positions. Maria, ranked 112th globally, is an experienced 37-year-old player who managed to halt Paolini's progress. Paolini had reached the finals at Wimbledon and Roland Garros in 2024, but she received a blow to her confidence just before the Wimbledon tournament. In the women's singles, American Madison Keys defeated Australian Talia Gibson 6-4, 6-4 in the first round, holding onto her dream of winning her third title at this event. In the men's competition, British Gyles Hasey surprised Italian Matteo Arnaldi by winning 6-4, 6-2, despite Arnaldi's disappointment after withdrawing from the Roland Garros semifinals due to illness.
