Jasmine Paolini said she was "scared to dream too much" after the bitter disappointment of losing the Wimbledon final to Barbora Krejcikova -- weeks after she lost the title match at the French Open. The seventh-ranked Italian recovered from a shaky start to level against her Czech opponent but ended up sinking to a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 defeat on Centre Court.

Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic defeated Italy's Jasmine Paolini to win the Wimbledon women's title on Saturday for her second Grand Slam singles triumph. Krejcikova, the 31st seed, won 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 to add the 2024 All England Club crown to her 2021 French Open victory. Her win comes 26 years after her mentor Jana Novotna, who died in 2017, claimed the Wimbledon title. The result meant seventh-seeded Paolini had lost two Grand Slam finals back-to-back after coming off second best to Iga Swiatek at the French Open last month. Krejcikova set the tone immediately by breaking the Italian in the opening game and backing up the advantage with a hold to love.
