What Time Will Greet Minnen Play Against Jasmine Paolini?
Minnen and Paolini are on the Day 3 Schedule at The Championships, Wimbledon 2024 on Wednesday July 3, 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Greet Minnen (BEL #80) is facing off against Jasmine Paolini (ITA #7) in their first-ever meeting. This is Minnenโs 16th appearance in a Grand Slam main draw, and she is hoping to match her best result at a Slam, which was reaching the Round of 32 twice at the US Open in 2021 and 2023. Minnenโs most notable victory came at Wimbledon in 2022 when she defeated No.10 Garbiรฑe Muguruza. Recently, she also reached the quarterfinals at the โs-Hertogenbosch grass-court tournament in 2024, matching her career-best result on grass.
A win for Paolini today would mark her third appearance in the third round at a Grand Slam this year, following her Round of 16 finish at the Australian Open and runner-up position at Roland Garros. Prior to 2024, Paolini had not advanced past the second round in any of her 16 previous Slam appearances. She recently reached her first career grass court semifinal at the 2024 Eastbourne tournament.

In terms of their tournament history, Minnen is playing in her fourth Wimbledon appearance and has matched her previous best result by reaching the Round of 64. She owns a 2-0 career record against players from Italy and has twice reached the quarterfinals at grass-court Tour-level events, both at โs-Hertogenbosch. Belgiumโs best result at Wimbledon was a runner-up finish by Justine Henin in 2006 and 2001. Minnen is currently ranked No. 80, a significant improvement from her No. 123 ranking at this time last year during the grass swing, where she reached the first round at Wimbledon and the second round at โs-Hertogenbosch.
On the other hand, Paolini is also participating in her fourth Wimbledon appearance and has advanced to the second round for the first time in her career. She achieved her first main draw win at Wimbledon by defeating Sara Sorribes Tormo in the opening round. A victory against Minnen would secure Paoliniโs third appearance in the third round of a Grand Slam this year. Notably, she has a 2-3 career record against players from Belgium, with a 2024 record of 1-0. Paoliniโs best result on grass was reaching the semifinals at the 2024 Eastbourne tournament. She is the only Italian player to reach the second round, and a win would make it two consecutive years with an Italian player reaching the Round of 32 at Wimbledon. Italyโs best results at Wimbledon include quarterfinal finishes by Camila Giorgi in 2018, Francesca Schiavone in 2009, Silvia Farina Elia in 2003, and Laura Golarsa in 1989. Currently ranked No. 7, Paoliniโs ranking has significantly improved from No. 44 at this time last year.
