Tauson Facing Fitness Concerns
Clara Tauson has been struggling with recurring back issues, which have limited her schedule and prevented her from performing at her best in recent months. The physical problems also forced her to retire in both Miami and Rome.
The Dane has played only nine tournaments this season and managed multiple wins in just three of them. Her notable results include a third-round run at the Australian Open, a semifinal in Abu Dhabi and a quarterfinal appearance in Dubai.
Since Indian Wells, Tauson has been unable to win a match and currently arrives on a three-match losing streak. Her dip in form also resulted in her losing her place inside the top 20 rankings.
This will be just her second appearance in Strasbourg. She made her debut here last year but suffered a three-set opening-round defeat to Beatriz Haddad Maia.
