Paolini in dreamland after making first Grand Slam final

PARIS — Jasmine Paolini is struggling to believe she's into her first Grand Slam final.

Paolini, who had never previously been past the fourth round at a major tournament, continued her run at the French Open by beating Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-1 in Thursday's semifinals.

"It's a great feeling to be in a Grand Slam final," the 28-year-old Italian said. "I don't know. It seems like something impossible, you know, but it's true."
