Before 2024, Paolini had never made it past the second round of a slam, and only made it past the 3rd round of a 1000 once, where she lost in the quarters (Cincy 2023); this year, she won a Masters and made 2 slam finals. Do you think she will continue at this level, or was this year a fluke?

She had also only made it past the second round of a slam in doubles once (lost in the third) and past the second round of a Masters in doubles once (lost in the semis), before making the finals of a slam in doubles and winning 2 Masters in doubles this year, all with Sara Errani, who is actually quite an accomplished doubles player, but had practically quit playing doubles after 2017.
