The upgrade to the WTA 500 event is also a special incentive for the ÖTV talents, combined with the chance to present themselves on the world stage of women’s tennis.

January will be held at the Froschberg Tennis Center. Eight Austrian players (U26) are fighting for a coveted free ticket, which entitles the winner of the challenge to take part in the qualification for the WTA tournament.
ÖTV sports coordinator Marion Maruska said regarding the great event: “I am pleased that Sandra and I launched this challenge together. The young players have a great opportunity to present themselves and be able to qualify if they win the WTA tournament. By upgrading to a WTA 500, you can get to know the stars and gain valuable experience for your own tennis. Thanks to Sandra Reichel and her team for their collaboration.”
“Yes, it is great that we can hold this Wild Card Challenge in collaboration with the Austrian and Upper Austrian Tennis Associations. It is always close to my heart to offer our young players this platform,” said tournament director Sandra Reichel.
