Tagger wins Prague Open, enters Top‑50

Entities: Francesca Schiavone · Daria Snigur · Lilli Tagger · Prague Open · Barbora Krejčíková

Overview

Austrian teenager Lilli Tagger captured her first WTA 250 title at the 2026 Livesport Prague Open, defeating Ukraine’s Daria Snigur 7‑6 (3), 6‑2 in the final on 26 July 2026. The 90‑minute final secured her $283,347 prize money and 250 ranking points, moving her into the world top‑50 at around No. 45. Earlier, she overcame two‑time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejčiková in a grueling 2‑hour‑50‑minute semifinal (6‑7 (5), 6‑3, 7‑6 (4)). Coached by former French‑Open champion Francesca Schiavone, Tagger becomes the tenth Austrian woman to win a WTA event and the first player born in 2008 to claim a title. The victory marked the first Prague Open without a Czech finalist, producing a rare all‑foreign final and was celebrated as a historic breakthrough for the 18‑year‑old and her age cohort.
