Ländle-Ass
Maxi Taucher is the new number one!
Maximilian Taucher has made it: since January 6, the Hohenems native has been the new number one in the youth world rankings for wheelchair tennis. The Ländle ace has a clear goal for the coming season.
The 17-year-old diver has been proving his talent at national and international level for years, which earned him the world titles in singles and doubles in Tarbes (Fra) in 2023 and the prestigious victory at the French Open in 2024, his first Grand Slam title. The player from Hohenems has been one of the best young players in the world for years. "It feels really good because I've been working towards this goal for a very long time," said a delighted Maxi, who is a big fan of Rafael Nadal and Yanik Sinner, and promised: "I'll do my best to keep this position for a long time to come."
Establishing himself with the men
The Ländle ace, who is playing his last year in the youth ranks, already has a clear vision for the coming season. "I want to win the biggest youth tournaments," Taucher clarifies, "but also play more on the men's tour and celebrate my first title there as soon as possible. In the long term, I want to establish myself in the top 50 of the men's world rankings."
