Lilli Tagger triumphs at W100 Fujairah
It was another stunning week from Lilli Tagger on the ITF World Tennis Tour.
The 17-year-old Austrian, who won her first three professional titles last season, has already started the year with her biggest title yet at W100 Fujairah.
She did not drop a set all week in an event with a stacked lineup - sweeping aside Teodora Kostovic, Chloe Paquet, Viktoria Hruncakova and Renata Zarazua before defeating Harriet Dart 6-4 6-2 in the final.
Tagger was named as part of the ITF Class of 2025 after a remarkable start to her professional career as well as winning Junior Roland-Garros.
As a result of her latest triumph, Tagger is now up to a career-high ranking of world No. 128.
Having been already tipped to go on to achieve big things in tennis, she is certainly on a rapid path to delivering on her potential.
