THE PREDICTION
World number 49 Clara Tauson had to come back from a set down against recent Tenerife Open champion Ann Li on Friday but the 18-year-old Dane ended up the worthy winner. Tauson has already won two WTA titles this season as one of the most exciting youngsters on tour, although her tough US Open draw kept her out of the same spotlight that Leylah Fernandez and Emma Raducanu shared. She takes on third seed Liudmila Samsonova here with confidence after beating the Russian in straight sets on clay at the Charleston Open back in April. However. 22-yaer-old Samsonova has vastly improved since then, with just 12 games conceded across her three matches so far at the Courmayeur Open. Both players are set to reach new career-high WTA world rankings on Monday as young players with big futures but Clara Tauson’s star is rising higher and faster than most. Take the Dane to win at least a set here as the likelier of two capable winners.
