Lilli Tagger is in the Quarterfinals of Wimbledon

Lilli Tagger remains on a successful course and is in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.

The 17-year-old Tyrolean confidently prevailed against the British player Ruby Cooling on July 9, 2025. In the round of 16 match of the junior competition, Tagger gave her opponent little chance and won clearly 6-3, 6-2. Already in the first set, the Austrian hopeful found her game after an early 1-3 deficit and increasingly dominated the match.

Clear Result on Grass

The victory on the grass of Wimbledon underscores Tagger's versatility. Even on the surface unfamiliar to many junior players, she shows herself to be confident and eager to play. Cooling, currently ranked 152 in the ITF junior world rankings, could do little against the Austrian's varied style of play.

Reunion with British Opponent

In the quarterfinals, another British player awaits: Mimi Xu, currently ranked 46 in the ITF junior rankings, clearly prevailed against the Australian Tahlia Kokkinis. The encounter promises excitement – both players have shown consistent performances throughout the tournament so far.

Successful Year for Tagger

For Lilli Tagger, reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals is another milestone in an already successful year. Just a few weeks ago, she triumphed at the French Open juniors. The success in London solidifies her position as one of the most promising young players in Austrian tennis.
