Clara Tauson Stuns Keys to Continue Top-10 Giant-Killing Run

"Tauson is no longer just a rising star—she’s rewriting the script at the top."

Clara Tauson continued her great run at the Canadian Open 2025 by beating world No. 6 Madison Keys in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4. This was her second win in a row against a top-10 player.

Just after her big upset over world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, Tauson played confidently. She dominated the first set with strong baseline shots and stayed calm to finish the match in just over an hour.

This win moves the 21-year-old Dane into the semifinals of a WTA 1000 event, one of the biggest tournaments in women’s tennis. It also shows she is becoming a serious contender among the best players.

“Beating two top-10 players in a row is a dream come true,” Tauson said after the match. “I’m focused, enjoying my tennis, and taking it one match at a time.”

Tauson has faced injuries and challenges before, but her comeback is getting attention from fans and experts. Next, she will play Naomi Osaka in the semifinals—a highly anticipated match.

With powerful shots, fearless play, and growing confidence, Clara Tauson is proving she belongs at the top.
