Three of the four Vorarlberg national league teams were able to celebrate victories at the start of the season. While the TC Dornbirn ladies celebrated a 7:0 victory, their male club colleagues had to put up with a - not unexpected - 1:8 defeat.

Great jubilation for the Bludenz ladies! The hosts celebrated a 5:2 home win in their clash with newly promoted Brühl Mödlinger TC. After the singles, Mia Liepert was 3:2 in front - before the duel threatened to slip away in the final doubles. But both Camilla Gennaro (It) and Emma Leitner managed to prevail after losing the first set in the Champions Tiebreak, as did Denisa Pospisilova and Liepert.
The second division girls from TC Dornbirn got off to a great start. Even without their top players Tamira Paszek and Julia Grabher, they left no stone unturned against Hartberg and already had an unassailable 5:0 lead after the singles duels. Final score: 7:0!

Successful debut
The men from Hartberg made a perfect debut in the second Bundesliga. In the duel with UTC Amstetten, the hosts celebrated a 5:4 victory. Decisive: the doubles! Kai Lemstra and Alex Grabher scored in the Champions Tiebreak, as did Mischa Lanz (Sz) and Jonas Keck. The narrow victory was finally secured with singles victories by Lemstra, Lanz and Keck.
In the first league duel between TC Dornbirn and Anif, the hosts from the trade fair city had nothing to gain - 1:8! The point of honor went to Dominik Böhler (D) and Linus Erhart, who prevailed in the "one doubles" against Argentinian Facundo Bagnis and Gerald Melzer.
