Austrian Teen Tagger Cracks WTA Top 100

Austrian teen Lilli Tagger, born in 2004, has made a remarkable entry into the WTA Top 100, reaching number 97. Shes the first player from her birth year to achieve this feat. Taggers unique one-handed backhand, a rarity among young women pros, has caught the attention of fans and insiders. Coached by Francesca Schiavone, the last player with a one-handed backhand to win a Grand Slam, Tagger has been making waves. She won the junior title at Roland Garros last year and reached her first WTA final last fall. Her recent quarterfinal finish in Linz and upset of number 21 Liudmila Samsonova have solidified her position in the Top 100. Tagger will next face Oleksandra Oliynykova in Rouen, France, and is poised to make a significant impact on the womens tour. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
