Clara Tauson

Clara Tauson (born 21 December 2002) is a Danish professional tennis player. Her career-high rankings are world No. 12 in singles, achieved on 8 September 2025, and No. 56 in doubles, achieved on 23 February 2026. Tauson has won three WTA Tour titles, all on hardcourts.

As a junior, at the age of 13, Tauson became the youngest winner of the Danish tennis championship (surpassing Caroline Wozniacki's record who won at age 14).

Career Clara's talent for tennis was discovered when she was six years old. At ten, she left her local school to attend one that would allow her to focus on tennis. In the beginning, she was often compared to Caroline Wozniacki, Denmark's best player at the time. She did not find herself to be the same kind of player as Wozniacki, whom she saw as more of a baseline player.

2026: Back issues In January she had to quit Adelaide after just one set while she got to the third round in Australian Open. In February she reached the semi finals in Abu Dhabi and a quarter final in the WTA 1000-event in Dubai. In May, just before French Open, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with two herniated discs in her back. She did this after struggling with back issues throughout the spring. She does not intent to go into surgery but will keep playing and hope for it to go away.

22 June she won her first victory for more than three months in Bad Homburg against Diana Shnaider. She then won against olympic champinon Zheng Qinwen before losing to eventual winner of the tournament Karolina Muchová.

Playing style Tauson is a power baseliner. She is able to produce a high number of winners from her forehand and backhand side as well as overpower her opponents. She possesses a reliable serve as well, with her biggest weakness on court being her movement.
