Qinwen Zheng vs Clara Tauson — R16 — Bad Homburg Open

Clara Tauson lost the opening set without a break either way, then flipped the match the moment she finally got a look at the return — breaking in the first game of both the second and third sets to seize control. The difference was Qinwen Zheng's second delivery cracking under the workload: 11 double faults to Tauson's three, and a second serve that bled points as the match wore on. Tauson, ranked #23 against the #160 Zheng, converted on the cleaner card — 100% first-serve in and 82% of those points won — to reach the Bad Homburg quarterfinals.
