Tennis LIVE: Tagger - Starodubtseva in Monterrey
The 18-year-old Tyrolean is playing her last tournament in Mexico before the US Open, which starts at the end of August. LIVE info:
Lilli Tagger's first-round match at the WTA 500 hardcourt tournament in Monterrey is scheduled for Monday (not before 3:30 AM CET in the LIVE ticker).
The 18-year-old from East Tyrol will face Yuliia Starodubtseva. The 26-year-old Ukrainian is currently ranked 78th in the WTA world rankings.
This places Starodubtseva exactly 30 spots behind Tagger. The player from Lienz made a big jump in the world rankings with her tournament victory in Prague and is already listed at number 48.
Tagger recently exited in the first round of the 1000-level event in Cincinnati after successfully navigating qualification. Monterrey is the last tournament to get a good feeling before the US Open, which starts next week.
