We are only two days into the main draw at the Indian Wells 2026 WTA 1000, and Lilli Tagger has already emerged as one of the standout players. The 18-year-old Austrian tennis player defeated Varvara Gracheva with a score of 6-2, 6-4 to secure her first victory in a tournament of this caliber. Until last year, Tagger was competing in junior Grand Slams, where she won Roland Garros, and she comes with a streak of 10 wins in her last 11 matches. She will face Maria Sakkari in the second round with the intention of causing another upset.
