The Linz AG Team Upper Austria has secured its eleventh Tennis Bundesliga title, which is worth 8,000 euros. The women’s team Jürgen Waber kept the upper hand against UTC Fischer Ried 4:3 after defending a match point in a final that was hard to beat in terms of tension at the Union Stein & Co. Mauthausen facility. The Innviertel women had already been in the final in 2021.
Ultimately, a few points in that double decided that Nika Radisic (Slo) and “Returnee” Melanie Klaffner 3:6, 6:3, 12:10 against Ried’s duo Nadja Ramskogler/Livia Kraus won. The 33-year-old Klaffner also had a 5:7, 6:1, 10:5 defeat in singles Anna Klasen (D) Nerves of steel, the Billie Jean King Cup player from Weyer was the match winner for Linz. The self-confidence doesn’t come by chance. Klaffner and Sinja Kraus (UTC Ried) impressed in the doubles competition at the ITF 60 event in Vienna, where the two narrowly missed out on the title on Saturday after four missed match points.
The next crime thriller was supposed to follow yesterday. “It’s nice that we had two Upper Austrian teams in the final and the trophy stayed in the country,” said OÖTV President Hans Sommer. The Linz AG team defied the devil of injuries Barbara Haas (Shoulder) on Friday also had to on Sunday Johanna Hiesmair (ankle, knee) where to give.
For hosts UTC Mauthausen, their dream of winning the title did not come true. Nevertheless, the team left Hannes Pühringer the center court with his head held high. The Mühlviertel team gave the top favorite and later champion ATV Irdning a self-sacrificing fight at 4:5 in the semifinals without a single legionnaire (none was available due to various tournament appearances). What was particularly notable was the clear 6:2, 6:4 victory by the double specialist Alexander Erler above Dennis Novak.
