Home Uncategorized “WHY ARE FANS SO CLOSE AND LOUD?” — JASMINE PAOLINI BLASTS DUBAI OPEN ATMOSPHERE AFTER STUNNING DEFEAT Tension spilled beyond the baseline in Dubai as Jasmine Paolini openly criticized the tournament’s courtside setup following her surprise loss to Alexandra Eala, pointing to the unusually close proximity of spectators and the overwhelming noise inside the arena. Paolini made clear that the constant movement, music, and audible reactions from the stands disrupted her rhythm, describing how she could hear nearly every sound unfolding around her at critical moments. With much of the crowd visibly backing Eala, the atmosphere felt increasingly hostile as momentum shifted, compounding the mental strain during decisive points. What should have been a tightly contested match instead unraveled into a performance Paolini struggled to stabilize, as focus and timing slipped away under the intensity of the environment. The defeat has reignited debate about stadium design and competitive fairness, raising broader questions about how far fan engagement can go before it begins to influence the balance of play at the highest level.

Jasmine Paolini explains why Dubai feels ‘Weird’ to play

Cincinnati Open star makes plea after being left without a coach as two mentors axed | Tennis | Sport | Express.co.uk

Jasmine Paolini is looking to get her 2026 campaign going at the Dubai Tennis Championships, where she’ll open against Alexandra Eala on Tuesday.

Paolini has struggled to find rhythm early in the season, exiting in the third round of the Australian Open and then falling in her opening match at the Qatar Open.

Eala might be able to take advantage of those struggles when they meet on court.

Paolini will be hoping to find some of that form again when she takes on Eala.

Paolini explains why Dubai has a ‘weird’ feeling for her

The Dubai Tennis Championships return in 2026, and Jasmine Paolini’s already voiced some unusual feelings about playing there. She finds it strange how close fans are during matches, making it hard for her to settle into a rhythm.

“It feels a bit weird because I don’t like too much noise around,” she told SuperTennis. “Not even music because I can hear everything around.”

The proximity of fans isn’t new this year either; it’s been part of past events as well. Back in 2019, Halep had similar issues, pointing out that all courts are surrounded by stands with spectators positioned closely around them.
