Lilli Tagger Wins First WTA 250 Title in Prague, Enters World Top‑50

Austrian 18‑year‑old Lilli Tagger captured her maiden WTA 250 title at the Prague Open, defeating Ukraine’s Daria Snigur 7‑6 (3), 6‑2 in the final. The victory followed a three‑set semifinal win over former Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejčíková, 6‑7 (5), 6‑3, 7‑6 (4). Tagger’s triumph – the first ever by a player born in 2008 on the WTA Tour – lifts her to around world No. 45, bringing her into the top 50 for the first time. The tournament offered total prize money of $283,347, and Tagger earned 250 ranking points. She is coached by former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, who has been credited with guiding the young Austrian’s rapid rise. No Czech player reached the final, marking a rare all‑foreign final in the Czech capital. The final lasted roughly 90 minutes, and Tagger’s win was celebrated as a historic breakthrough for both her career and her age cohort.
