Victory in the US Open and a doubles tournament win in Tulln for the US Open champion

In the world of tennis, Austrian players have been making waves in various tournaments.

Anna Pircher, trained by former pro Oliver Ploner, showcased her great potential in the semifinals of a recent WTA event. However, she was unable to secure a victory against Romanian Mirian Bulgaro, who won the match with scores 6:1, 6:4. Pircher is expected to enter the next WTA ranking around the 900th position.

Meanwhile, in the Challenger series, Joel Schwarzler reached the semifinals at the event in Tulln. Unfortunately, he lost to Marco Trungelitti, who went on to win the tournament. But Schwarzler's performance was enough to secure him a place in the top 250 of the world rankings for the first time. Alongside Neil Oberleitner, Schwarzler also won the doubles title at the Challenger in Tulln.

Another notable achievement came from Sinja Kraus, who will play for her fourth ITF title in Austria against Mirian Bulgaro on Sunday. Kraus, with more international experience, won her semifinal match against Lilli Tagger with scores 6:4, 6:1.

On the wheelchair tennis front, Maximilian Taucher made history at the 2025 US Open, winning both the singles and doubles titles. Partnering with British player Ruben Harris, Taucher clinched the doubles title. Taucher also won two titles among juniors at the US Open.

In the Davis Cup scene, the Austrian team led by captain Jürgen Melzer is on the brink of qualifying for the title competition. They need a win in Hungary next Friday and Saturday to secure their spot, which will be held in Bologna in November.

Lastly, Lilli Tagger, the 17-year-old French Open winner, was shown her limits by a compatriot in the semifinals of a recent event. Despite the loss, Tagger's performance at the French Open is a testament to her promising future in tennis.

These Austrian tennis stars continue to impress on the international stage, and their performances are a source of pride for tennis fans in Austria.
