Clara Tauson (born 21 December 2002) is a Danish professional tennis player. Her career-high rankings are world No. 33 in singles and No. 432 in doubles, reached in February 2022. Tauson has won three WTA Tour titles, all on hardcourts.
As a junior, at the age of 13, Tauson became the youngest winner of the Danish tennis championship (surpassing Caroline Wozniacki's record who won at age 14).[1] She won the 2019 Australian Open girls' singles event and became the first Danish girl to top the junior world ranking.[2] On the professional ITF Circuit, she has won eleven titles, the first at age 14. Tauson's WTA Tour debut came in April 2019, and her major debut came at the 2020 French Open.
In 2021, her first year as a senior, Tauson won her two first WTA Tour singles titles at the Lyon Open and at Luxembourg Open on top of one Challenger and two ITF tournament wins. This led to her entering the top 50 in the WTA rankings. Her 2022 and 2023 seasons were marred by injuries but since 2024 she has begun to move up again.
Tauson has also represented Denmark in the Billie Jean King Cup, with a win–loss record of 16–6 (as of January 2025).
