Lilli Tagger starts brilliantly at the Wimbledon tournament!

In an impressive start with the Wimbledon juniors, 17-year-old Lilli Tagger from East Tyrol has once again demonstrated her skills. In the first round she defeated 14-year-old debutante Xinran Sun from China 6-2, 7: 5. The victory shows that Tagger is in top shape after her recent triumph at the French Open in Paris, where she won her first Grand Slam junior title. She is set as number 3 at this prestigious Rasm tournament, behind the competitors Emerson Jones and Hannah Klugmann, such as Dolomitenstadt.

for Tagger, this is your second appearance in Wimbledon and her fifth Grand Slam mission as a whole. In the previous year, she had to fight through the qualification to get to the main competition. The expectations are significantly higher this year, and her father, Stephan Tagger, notices that she is now the hunted, which is a new challenge. Despite the pressure that goes with her title in Paris, Tagger does not feel under additional pressure, but sees the success as confirmation of her training services, as Krone reports.

outlook for the next games

With the victory over Xinran Sun, Tagger not only secured the move into the next round, but also shows that she is ready to switch to the professional tournament of absolute world class. Your next opponent in Wimbledon will be the Swede Lea Nilsson, against which she will also compete. This encounter is already eagerly awaited by the media and the professional world, since everyone looks at their further performance.

In the junior competition history, it is not uncommon for talented players to take the stage in international tennis. Each Grand Slam offers a platform for aspiring stars, and one day Tagger could also rise in the official rankings, since many well-known players from the past like Alexander Zverev and Bernard Tomic found their way into the professional ranks about the junior tournaments, as in the list of [Grand Slam-Sieger] (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_sieger_der_grand-slam-Turniere_ (junior singles)) can be seen.

While the press and fans follow their progress closely, it remains to be seen how Lilli Tagger will do in the upcoming rounds. With its current form and the experiences from Paris, she could be on the best way to also write history in Wimbledon.
