Even before the final on Sunday (11 a.m.) at the Union Stein & Co. Mauthausen facility, it is clear that the women’s tennis Bundesliga champion will come from Upper Austria once more. Defending champion Linz AG beat the Grazer Park Club 4:3, although they had to give up their singles due to persistent shoulder problems. UTC Fischer Ried, who last played in the final in 2021, clearly had the upper hand 4-1 in the semifinals once morest TC Bakl Weigelsdorf, even without their number one.
The world ranking 208. is still involved in the ITF 60 tournament in Vienna together with the Linz AG Team Upper Austria. The duo reached the doubles final, but Kraus was eliminated in the singles in the round of the last eight. Be that as it may, on Sunday the two will definitely strengthen their clubs in Mauthausen, where, by the way, all four semi-finalists obeyed the Legionnaires’ restriction today.
Austria’s number one, unfortunately, doesn’t hit any balls for a long time. The world number 54. underwent wrist surgery in Vienna and has to end the season. Three months break is the minimum.
“My rehab begins now. I will do everything I can to come back stronger than ever next year,” emphasized the 27-year-old from Vorarlberg.
(WRL No. 58) hasn’t been free from injury concerns recently either. The shoulder caused problems for the 27-year-old and forced him to cancel the Bundesliga. This means that Union Mauthausen is spared the strongest opponent in the men’s semi-final on Saturday (11 a.m.) – Ofner would have been Irdning’s number one.
“For me, the focus is clearly on the Davis Cup, I’m really looking forward to it. I’m in great shape,” assured Ofner, with a view to the showdown with Portugal on September 15th and 16th on the hard court in Schwechat.
Then Austria’s captain also counts on , who had to give up the US Open with stomach cramps. “He is of the opinion that it will work out,” reported Melzer.
