February 5 to 12, 2023 is a desired date for tournament director Sandra Reichel, who wants to open a new, exciting chapter in the history of the WTA tournament.
For tournament ambassador Barbara Schett, looking back at the Design Center at the first WTA tournament in Linz in the new millennium is associated with unforgettable emotions. “Yes, in 2000 I had to retire in the quarterfinals against eventual winner Lindsay Davenport because of a toe injury. That was very bitter,” reveals Austria’s former world-class player, who is still in close contact with the American. “Lindsay is still enthusiastic about the great atmosphere in the Design Center and the family atmosphere of the tournament,” says Babsi Schett. Davenport successfully defended her title at the Linz WTA tournament in 2001, and in 2002 Justine Henin triumphed.
