Clara Tauson in an interview with the Danish newspaper Politiken: "Having had such a great season gives you a hunger and momentum. But I'm not going to dwell on that I've beaten top ranked players. I want to constantly improve. And I know that I can. Being #12 knowing you can improve is a privilege"

Clara's fave player to play against? Sabalenka, of course! :)
Worst: Andreeva, because she just sucks the wind out of her game. Come to think of it, Andreeva is rather Wozniacki-like :)

The Danish headline is "Clara Tauson is enjoying her break, because it's impossible to enjoy anything in tennis.
Even if you've won a tournament, you just move on the the next. You look at your next goal."

Clara Tauson in a Danish interview for DR: "I feel I'm at the same level as them (top players) at being able to beat them. I don't know if I'm up there when it comes to consistency." Brutally honest. #tennis #wtatennis #claratennis

So looking forward to Clara Tauson's 2026 WTA season. 2025 was first season where she actually made a monetary profit, went from WTA 52 to WTA 12. Hiring a physio to accompany her on largest tournaments, 1000's & slams to avoid 'huge' waiting lists for WTA physios. #claratauson #wtatennis #tennis

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.
