Clara Tauson just returned home from his impressive campaign in China, where she won two seniorturneringer and improved its ranking on both the WTA’s as the ITF’s rankings, where she is now, respectively, number 407 and 262.
But unfortunately opens it is not in itself the door to the tournaments at the higher level, and there is no help available abroad for the 16-year-old grand slam winner from Australia.
on the Contrary, protects each country their own, have the team he will play in the French Tennis Federation, Jens Anchor Ankersen, grievously learned.
– the People are friendly, when calling, but turneringsdirektørerne regard just for their alliance, which controls the distribution of wildcards, and they are consistent with their own national talents, he says.
Not even the swedes shows søstersolidaritet.
– the WTA tournament in Båstad would be obvious, but we have nothing to exchange with the outside its own tournaments, and the swedes can’t give Clara a wildcard rather than one of their own talents, so there will be internal trouble with clubs and parents.
– We don’t get something it surely isn’t, and it makes a little hurt that Clara comes in squeeze. It is a little frustrating to see her junior rivals from China, England and other big nations to run from her up the leaderboard, ” says Jens Anker Andersen, which, however, are trying to keep alive the optimism, the talent warrants.
– Clara can’t keep down. I am not in doubt. But the trip may take a little longer for her than for some of the others.

He spoke with her Thursday, where she trained at home at the KB’s premises.
– She is happy, and that is we all. It runs the true good. She fulfils our high expectations.
– She impresses me every day, but I was not the least impressed by the way she just was at. A finale is not enough for Clara. She will on. She doesn’t go off of just to sniff.
In China took Clara Tauson one of the two wildcards, which she top-junior get assigned to seniorturneringer with 60,000 dollars in prize money, after which she won a somewhat less in the 15.000 level.
The last she should preferably avoid in the future, believe sportschefen. But the ranking rows are not entirely to jump straight into the slightly larger with 25,000 in prize money and points for the WTA rankings.
– If she is to play in them, so is she going to have to go through qualifying. It is a difficult balance right now, he thinks.
A new press release from the ITF, however, offer good news. Connected will thus extend the quota from three to five wildcards for the best juniors. It is clear, however, is not what your tournament category.
In the Junior level will only the grand slams in the future be interesting for Clara Tauson.
– I trust that she sign up for the French Open. She would like to play it, for it is indeed a great experience. But now we must see if there at the same time should show a wildcard up to a seniorturnering, says Jens Anker Andersen.
In clara’s wake is Holger Rune is still the best in the world in the year 2003 and number 25 on the juniorernes world rankings. He plays obviously the French Open, like peers Elmer Mills (ranked 95) probably gets its grand slam debut at the same place.
