Managing Expectations and Setting Future Goals
With such high-profile achievements, Tauson acknowledges the pressure of raised expectations. “Next year, I aim to replicate or improve on this year’s performance, though it’s a different scenario for me now,” she revealed. Tauson, who has come close to breaking into the WTA’s top 10, is determined to maintain her current form.
The Challenges and Opportunities in Competitive Tennis
According to Tauson, the current landscape of women’s tennis is extremely competitive. “It’s essential to consistently defeat lower-ranked players as well as top players,” she noted. The unpredictability of matches means that every player is capable of achieving success, making consistency crucial.
“The target for next year is breaking into the top 10,” Tauson stated, recognizing the progress she has already made since being ranked No. 80 last year. Despite areas for improvement, she acknowledges the significant strides made in her career.
