ÖTV ace Julia Grabher
First WTA 250 win in over a year
At last! After ÖTV ace Julia Grabher had to battle with the consequences of a wrist injury for over a year, the Dornbirn native now celebrated her best victory since July 2023 in Hamburg at the WTA 250 in Auckland.
Julia Grabher is improving fast! The Dornbirn native showed that at the WTA 250 tournament in Auckland, New Zealand, which has prize money of 275,094 US dollars, where the ÖTV ace celebrated her best win in the opening round since July 2023, when she was last successful at a 250 in Hamburg.
Grabher faced Spain's Leyre Romero Gormaz, currently ranked 141st in the WTA world rankings, in round one. And the Vorarlberg native went the full distance against the 22-year-old.
Grabher lost the first set 2:6 and needed a while to really get into the game. She won the second 6:3 and kept her nerve in the decisive tie-break thriller in the third set, ultimately winning 2:6, 6:3, 7:6 (7).
The Japanese Naomi Osaka, the tournament's seventh seed and number 57 in the world rankings, now awaits Grabher in the round of 16.
