Tagger's Rapid Rise Faces Another Test
Lilli Tagger may not have been consistent this year, but her breakthrough results on tour have helped her break into the Top 50 recently, highlighted by winning her maiden tour-level title in Prague last month.
Before that title-winning campaign, she endured a disappointing stretch, winning only two main-draw matches across her previous 10 events and also suffering an opening-round exit in Cincinnati recently.
She has also won the W100 Fujairah title, reached the final in Mumbai at WTA 125 level and made the quarterfinals in Linz and Saint-Malo.

Yulia Starodubtseva Looks to End Her Losing Run
Yulia Starodubtseva has struggled to close out matches in recent months, leading to a series of early exits. She is currently on a five-match losing streak in first-round matches and won a set in four of those defeats.
The Ukrainian endured similar struggles earlier this year, winning only one main-draw match in her first eight events. However, after her breakthrough run in Miami, she produced improved performances on clay, reaching the final in Charleston, the semifinal at the WTA 125 event in Paris and the third round at the French Open.
However, since the clay season ended, she has returned to her previous struggles and has found it difficult to produce consistent results.
