She achieved her best placings in the WTA world rankings in 2000 in singles and in 2001 in doubles, each with rank 3. The serve and volley game was her great strength.

Tauziat won individual titles in 1990 in Bayonne, 1993 in Québec and 1995 in Eastbourne . In 1998 she reached the Wimbledon final, which she lost to Jana Novotná . Tauziat played doubles for a long time with Judith Wiesner .

Vortex around book publication

Tauziat published her book "Les dessous du tennis féminin" in 2000, in which she denounced sexist behavior on the ladies' tour. The publication earned her the only cover picture on a German tennis magazine.
