Son nom peut être un peu violent, au premier abord. Son prénom est déjà un peu plus doux. Lilli Tagger a déjà tout d'une grande. Entraînée par la légende Francesca Schivaone, sacrée sur la terre battue de Roland-Garros en 2010, l'Autrichienne de 17 ans vient de remporter le tournoi juniors, après un succès écrasant sur la pépite britannique Hannah Klugman, 16 ans, sur le score de 6-2, 6-0. Tagger a mérité son titre, après avoir renversé la n°1 mondiale chez les juniors Emerson Jones en demi-finale, pourtant grandissime favorite du tournoi, et Jeline Vandromme, n°3.. Une revanche de leur quart de finale à Melbourne, qui avait tourné à l'avantage de l'Australienne.

00:00BNP Paribas, partenaire des plus belles histoires de Roland Garros, aux côtés des ramasseurs de balles depuis plus de 50 ans.
00:30Je suis super heureux et prouvé de moi et j'ai joué le moment.
00:34Je vais vous demander des questions en anglais, s'il vous plaît.
00:38Oui, congratulations.
00:40Quand vous avez commencé à travailler avec Francesca et avez-vous vu des images d'elle en 2010 ?
00:47J'ai commencé à travailler avec elle en octobre de 2023.
00:56Oui, bien sûr, j'ai vu elle.
01:00Je pense que c'était deux jours avant que j'ai regardé la vidéo de elle qui venait ici.
01:05Elle est la queen de la clé.
01:08Et oui, j'ai pu apprendre beaucoup d'elle, et elle me enseigne aussi beaucoup.
01:15Congratulations, Lili.
01:16Est-ce que vous pouvez élaborer sur ce qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit ?
01:24Bien, bien sûr, nous avons parlé de la tactique part parce que je savais mes t Mystifiés.
01:30Mais il le plus important pas, c'est qu'elle a dit qu'elle a dit qu'elle a « bargain year cracking » des temps.
01:34Et en tant...
01:45Earlier in the week you spoke about how you opted for the one-handed back-end
01:53You talked to your coach and you said if I win that tournament
01:56I want to go with the one-handed back-end
01:58Can you talk a little bit more about that tournament, where it was
02:01And the feelings afterwards
02:04And how you think now five years on
02:07Is it the right call?
02:09Yeah, of course, I think it was the right call
02:11I mean, I don't remember the moment so good
02:15Because I was 11, 11 years, I think 12
02:18But yeah, we went to the tournament and I told him in the car
02:22If I win the tournament, I want to play with the one-handed back-end
02:25And it was a tournament in Austria, under 12, close to Vienna
02:31And of course, when I won the tournament
02:34I was just super happy to change my back-end
02:37Just in general, who are your tennis inspirations or sporting inspirations?
02:46In tennis, I really like the...
02:50In the men's part, I love Yannick
02:53I really love him
02:54How he is mentally on the court
02:57And also his style of the game
02:59And the girls, Irina Sabalenka
03:04She is different from the other ones
03:07She has a different attitude
03:08And in general, in the sports
03:11I really like to ski
03:14So I watch it also a bit
03:17And I like Michaela Schifrin
03:19Or Lindsay Wong
03:21And yeah, try to learn from them
03:23Have you had a chance to speak to Irina or to Yannick at all
03:29In the week that you've been here?
03:31Have you spoken to any of the biggest stars?
03:34No, I didn't speak to them yet
03:37I mean, they are in the tournament
03:40Focused on the tournament
03:41So I didn't have the chance yet
03:42I think a Dominic team made the same switch like you
03:49Changed his backhand when he was already 12
03:53I think, maybe 13
03:54I don't know
03:54Did you talk about him
03:55With him, sorry
03:56About the difficulty to make such a change
03:59And about the tennis in general
04:01Your career
04:02Did you know him?
04:04I mean, when I had this age
04:06I didn't know
04:08How difficult it maybe can be
04:11Or could be
04:11But I had so much fun to play it
04:14And there was never one second
04:16Where I thought maybe
04:17Thought about it
04:18Could be the wrong choice
04:20And so
04:21Yes, if I think about it now
04:22Of course
04:23I would say it was the right decision
04:25Which I took
04:27Are you aware of some of the former champions
04:31And the girls' singles here
04:32And what they've gone on to do?
04:34There was quite a
04:35There was four former junior girls' champions
04:37Through to the second week here
04:39Are you aware of that history
04:40And how important it is
04:42For some players
04:42To progress in their careers from here?
04:46I mean
04:46Of course
04:47It's really, really special
04:49To win this tournament here
04:50But in the juniors
04:52I think
04:54From all of us
04:55The goal is to come here
04:56To play the normal
04:58Seniors tournament
04:59You know
04:59So
05:00Of course
05:01If we come here
05:03It's an inspiration
05:04To watch them play
05:05And we focus of course
05:07On our tournament
05:08And try to win it
05:08But the goal is to come here
05:10So
05:11Yes
05:13It's a great win
05:14It gives you a lot of inspiration
05:18To continue to work
05:19But the goal is to come here
05:21To be continued to come here
05:22To be continued to come here
05:23To be continued to come here
05:25To be continued to come here
