Tauson Makes Yet Another Semi-Final
For the 18-year old Dane, who is already being described as the next Caroline Wozniacki, it has already been a season to remember.
She won her first senior WTA title in Lyon in March and her second in Luxembourg in September, and, sandwiched in between that, she beat Emma Radecanu in the final; of a WTA 125k tournament in Chicago.
And now, right at the end of the season, she finds herself in yet another semi-final.
However, having breezed past Stephane Voegele of Switzerland and Giulia Gatto-Monticone of Italy, she found Ann Li of the USA a much tougher proposition in their semi-final.
Although Li had to save three break points in the opening game of the match, it was she who started the stronger, forcing the only break of the first set to take an early lead.
After the pair swapped breaks, Tauson faced another break point on her own serve which she saved, That proved to be a significant moment in the match, as she broke herself to level soon afterwards, and then broke the Li serve again midway through the third set.
From there Tauson controlled the rest of the match and sealed the win with another break of serve.

Paolini Upsets Top Seed
Paolini had her own career breakthrough at the Slovenia Open last month, where she beat Alison Riske to win her first career title.
And now she is just one match away from another title, this time on home soil in Italy.
In her first two rounds in Courmayeur, she had the advantage of playing two local women, both ranked below her in the form of Martina Di Guiseppe and Lucrezia Stefanini, although the latter in particular, did not make it easy for her.
However, her quarter-final opponent was the toughest she could meet on the field, at least on paper, being the top seed, Dayana Yastremska, of the Ukraine.
Despite this it was Paolini who started the stronger, putting early pressure on the Yastremska serve and she was rewarded when she secured a break in the ninth game of the first set, duly serving out from there.
The second set developed into a service battle, with Paolini saving the only break point created by either woman, meaning that a tie-break was needed.
And it was the Italian who proved the stronger, generating three match points. The Ukrainian saved the first two, but not the third.
Tauson v Paolini Prediction and Tip
Both women will go into this match full of confidence, but Paolini has home court advantage, and that might just be enough to give her the edge.
