Ladies and gentlemen, what a marvel awaits us with Lilli Tagger in these upcoming years. An 18-year-old Austrian with a one-handed backhand who, as of this Thursday, is the first player born in 2008 to reach the quarterfinals of a professional tournament. She achieved this at the WTA 500 in Linz after defeating Paula Badosa (6-4, 7-6) and Liudmila Samsonova (6-2, 7-6). Quite an accomplishment. Two victories that virtually place her in the top 100 for the first time, although we must follow her closely until Sunday, just to make sure the party is not over yet.

This is how the quarterfinals stand in Linz

  • [1] M Andreeva vs. [5] S Cirstea
  • [4] J Ostapenko vs. E Ruse
  • A Potapova vs. (WC) L Tagger
  • (Q) D Vekic vs. K Pliskova
