Tauson Faces Anisimova in Paris



Clara Tauson, a professional tennis player from Denmark, is set to compete in the third round of the French Open against the 16th-seeded American, Amanda Anisimova. Tauson has demonstrated strong competitive skills in her previous matches on the clay courts of Paris.
Coaching Changes
After parting ways with her previous coach, Lars Christensen, Tauson has enlisted the help of her boyfriend, Kasper Elsvad, to guide her through this tournament. Elsvad recognizes Tauson's tendency for self-criticism, a common trait among athletes striving for excellence. His focus is on helping Tauson embrace imperfections, allowing her to perform without undue pressure during matches.
Intensive Training
Leading into her match against Anisimova, Tauson has committed to rigorous training sessions to enhance her performance. Additionally, she has expanded her support network by collaborating with Elmer Møller's team and her physical therapist, Gorm Alex Petersen, whom she has brought along to the tournament.
