How right are those who say that grandparents are eternal. Clara Tauson knows it well, as she faced the loss of one of them during the WTA Montreal 2025, specifically after her great triumph against Iga Swiatek. It didn't stop the Danish player from stepping onto the court, defeating Madison Keys, securing her spot in the semifinals and the top-15 next Monday... and of course, breaking down in tears when remembering him in her post-match interview. "Two days ago, my grandfather passed away. Today, I wanted to win for him. They informed me after my victory against Iga, so I wanted to go out and show my best tennis today. Hopefully, he's watching." A minute and a half that gives you goosebumps.
