AustriaThe WTA-125 Challenger tournament in Kitzbühel, Austria, is set to return after over 30 years, featuring several Austrian tennis players including Sinja Kraus, Julia Grabher, and Billie Jean King Cup representatives Ekaterina Perelygina and Arabella Koller. However, 16-year-old local star Anna Pircher, who reached the quarterfinals in the junior category at Wimbledon, has withdrawn due to injury. Pircher, trained by Daniel Huber, has struggled with back injuries throughout the year and was forced to take time off for recovery. Despite her efforts to regain fitness, her physiotherapist confirmed that her back has flared up again, making it impossible for her to compete. Pircher will now take a two-week break. The wildcard spot for the event has been given to Leonie Rabl, an ÖTV contract player. The tournament is led by Veronika Erjavec, ranked 89th in the world, alongside other international talents such as Erika Andrejewa, sister of French Open champion Mirra Andrejewa. Tournament director Carmen Huber emphasized the event’s focus on international women’s tennis, compelling stories, and providing a platform for rising stars.
