Tennis fans attack Italian Open’s Patriotic Move that snubbed: Emma Raducano, Caroline Wozniacki and Simona Halep
Wild cards are awarded to players in several different ways.
A particular order is followed when giving wild cards for main draws, and local players are the first to be considered. The Italian Open organizers looked mostly at them as they sidestepped Emma Raducanu, Simona Halep, and Caroline Wozniacki when giving wild cards.
However, the decision was not a sound one, Italian Open organizers looked mostly at them as they sidestepped Emma Raducanu, Simona Halep, and Caroline Wozniacki when giving wild cards, as no Italian star would be in the third round in Rome for women’s singles.
As Jasmine Paolini was eliminated from the round of 64 against Maya Sherif, 7-6, 6-2, 4-6, the women’s singles of the Rome Masters was devoid of any Italian player.
Paolini did not receive a wild card herself, but those who did were eliminated like her. Tennis journalist Jose Morgado wrote on X, “Zero Italian women into the 3rd round in Rome.” Fans were not happy about the situation.
