Lilli Tagger
Tagger switched to a one-hander at twelve and trained at the academy of Francesca Schiavone, a one-hander who won Roland-Garros in 2010. She won the 2025 French Open girls' title without dropping a set, having started that year ranked outside the top 500. In July 2026 she won her first WTA title in Prague, beating Krejčíková in the semis and Snigur in the final, and rose to a career high of 45 as the youngest player in the top 50. Born in 2008, she's the best chance in years of making the one-hander normal on the women's tour.

Stats verified November 2026 — active players have an inconvenient habit of winning more titles when I'm not looking.
A heavy, deep one-hander she swings through with real pace, and to my eye the most exciting in women's tennis
