The 22-year-old Dane got to bed late after
outlasting Elina Svitolina in a three-set victory in the
previous round.
“I think I slept maybe five hours last night. We went to sleep
at 330 a.m.," Clauson, ranked 38th, said in her on-court
interview. “I didn't know what shape I was going to come out
here in, but a pretty good one.”
It was Tauson's first win over a No. 1-ranked player. Next up is
Linda Noskova for a shot at the semifinals. The Czech player
beat fifth-seeded Jessica Pegula 6-3, 7-6 (8).
Second-seeded Iga Swiatek beat Dayana Yastremska 7-5, 6-0 and
next faces Mirra Andreeva, who overcame Peyton Sterns 6-1, 6-1.
Defending champion Jasmine Paolini was ousted by Sofia Kenin
6-4, 6-0.
The Italian sustained a right ankle injury during the second
set. A tearful Paolini got a medical timeout and had her ankle
immobilized, but could not challenge Kenin afterward.
Kenin will face sixth-seeded Elena Rybakina in the
quarterfinals. Rybakina beat ninth-seeded Paula Badosa 4-6, 7-6
(8), 7-6 (2).
Sorana Cirstea beat Emma Navarro 7-6 (5), 3-6, 7-5. The Romanian
will next face Karolina Muchova, who earlier defeated McCartney
Kessler 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 (5).
