Clara Tauson can be proud of her role in this Wimbledon 2025, although she probably doesn't want to watch her last match again. Even though the scoreline isn't a disaster (6-4, 6-1), the reality is that the Dane never managed to reach the same level as Iga Swiatek, her conqueror in the quarterfinals. After the battle, the 22-year-old player described what it feels like to face Iga's best version.

"I played against one of the best players in the world, I didn't feel well, I could barely breathe. It's very difficult to play against Iga, if you want to defeat her, you have to be at 110%, today she seemed as if she was 30 years old, I didn't feel right. Maybe I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but I couldn't keep up with her legs, and my mind wasn't there either. The feeling is that it's impossible to beat her," she underscored with helplessness.
