Clara Tauson

Clara Tauson hits through the court the way few on the WTA tour can, a Copenhagen-born power baseliner whose serve buys cheap points and whose flat groundstrokes end rallies early. At 16 she won the 2019 Australian Open girls' title and became the first Danish girl to top the junior rankings. Titles in Lyon and Luxembourg followed in 2021, both before she turned 19, and then her back gave out: injuries wrecked the next two seasons and dropped her deep into triple-digit rankings.

The rebuilt version arrived in 2025. She took the Auckland title in January, beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on the way to the Dubai final, where Mirra Andreeva stopped her, and reached a first fourth round at Wimbledon. By September she stood at a career-high No. 12, Denmark's best ranking since Caroline Wozniacki. The back remains the asterisk: two herniated discs, confirmed in May 2026, have cost her rhythm and ranking points. Healthy, she plays first-strike tennis that the very best have already failed to solve.

The family business: Cruz Hewitt debuts where his father won, and he is far from the only one

Twenty-two years. That is how long it has been since Lleyton Hewitt won the title in Washington, and this week his son came through qualifying into the main draw of the same tournament. Cruz Hewitt is 17, ranked outside the top 600, and plays Marcos Giron in the first round. It is his first ATP main draw, and it is a smaller novelty than it sounds. The tour is thick with players whose surname arrived before they did.

Athens

Krejcikova beats Sakkari in Athens for a first title since Wimbledon 2024

Two years. That is how long it had been since Barbora Krejcikova's last tour title, at Wimbledon in 2024, before she beat Maria Sakkari 7-6(5) 6-3 in Sunday's Athens Open final for her ninth career title, won on Sakkari's home court, and one that pushes her head-to-head with Sakkari to 3-0.
