Wimbledon 2025 Update: Italian tennis star Jasmine Paolini, currently ranked World No. 4, has officially ended her coaching partnership with Marc Lopez, just days after her unexpected second-round exit at Wimbledon 2025.
Paolini, who made history last year by becoming the first Italian woman in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon final, suffered a disappointing 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to Russia’s Kamilla Rakhimova last week. The early exit seems to have prompted a significant shake-up in her coaching setup.
Short But Impactful Partnership
Paolini began working with Lopez in April 2025, following the end of her 10-year collaboration with Renzo Furlan. Despite the short stint, their partnership delivered notable success. Under Lopez’s guidance, Paolini:
- Won her second WTA 1000 title at the Italian Open
- Claimed the women’s doubles title at the French Open 2025
Marc Lopez, a former doubles World No. 3 and a former member of Rafael Nadal’s coaching team, was instrumental in elevating Paolini’s performance during the clay season.
Paolini Announces Split on Social Media
The 29-year-old tennis ace took to social media to announce the decision:
“We had some great results together. Especially in Rome and Paris. I appreciate all the hard work and energy Marc gave every day. Now that this part of the season is over, I’ve decided to make a change. I’ve learned a lot and made good progress. And now I’m taking the time to reflect on what the next step will be. Thank you again, Marc, for everything.”
What’s Next for Paolini?
With the hard-court season on the horizon, all eyes are now on Paolini’s next coaching decision and how she plans to bounce back from her Wimbledon setback. Her immediate schedule is expected to include warm-up tournaments ahead of the US Open 2025.
