instead, she asked, as previously mentioned, up to W60-tournament in Israel, but it is according to the rules not allowed to put up in the other tournaments, while enrolled in a WTA-tournament.
But according to the Tauson family adviser, Mikkel Nissen, there was a logical explanation of the fact that the 16-year-old talent is not asked up to the tournament in China.
Clara was sick and reported from China for the qualification. She was in the meantime well and therefore chose to play in Israel three days after, when it was very important for her to play in the tournament regardless, says Mikkel Nissen to TV2 Sport.

Tausons advisor tells at the same time to the media, they will try to appeal the case to the WTA.
– in Order to get points, one must, under normal circumstances, not opt-out so late to play another tournament the same week, but she was sick, and that necessitated the cancellation in China. We are talking of course in the moment with the WTA and hope she can get reimbursed for the points, because we had no other choice in the situation, he elaborates.
Clara Tauson could otherwise potentially be moved forward on a number 235 in the world rankings. It would have made her access to the qualifications and registration for the WTA-tournaments significantly shorter.
instead, she must in the first instance to accept a place as number 311 in the world, which is five places lower than her previous position on world rankings.
