Upper Austria Ladies
Grabher meets former Linz winner in the opener
Austria's only representative in the main draw of the 1.064 million dollar Upper Austria Ladies will face the winner of 2023: Julia Grabher, who has been given a wildcard, will face Russian No. 6 seed Anastasia Potapova in the opening round of the WTA500 tournament.
The field is led by world number 19 Karolina Muchova, who, like number two Elina Svitolina (UKR/WTA 24th), has a bye in the first round.
Incidentally, Grabher has narrowly won the only duel to date with the current number 36 in the WTA rankings. In 2022, the player from Vorarlberg won 5:7, 6:3, 6:4 in the round of 16 in Valencia.
Kraus in second qualifying round
Four Austrians were represented in qualifying from Sunday, but only one progressed. Sinja Kraus survived the first round with a smooth 6:1,6:2 over Nuria Parrizas Diaz (ESP-7) and will play for a place in the main competition on Monday. Tamara Kostic, Mavie Österreicher and Liel Rothensteiner all failed to win a set in the first round.
