Failure to convert a number of break points proved costly for Clara Tauson when she lost the semifinal in the WTA-500 tournament in Linz to Dayana Yastremska 6-1, 6-4.
Clara Tauson failed to get past the semifinal at the WTA 500 tournament in Linz, Austria.
The young Dane lost by a fairly clear margin in two sets to Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska, who is number 72 in the world, but seeded as number five in the tournament. Thus, Tauson also missed the opportunity to book the ticket for the biggest final of her career.
Although Tauson never found her top level, Yastremska was also extremely skilled and made few mistakes.
Tauson on the other hand failed to convert a large number of breakpoints which could potentially have turned the tide in her favour.
In Sunday's final, Dayana Yastremska will either face Karolina Muchova or Ekaterina Alexandrova.
