German participants
But Jule Niemeier is not the only German at the tournament in Linz. Anna-Lena Friedsam, who beat Varvara Gracheva in qualifying, and Tamara Korpatsch, who will play Croatian Donna Vekic tomorrow, are also there. Eva Lys also serves against Kamilla Rakhimova on Tuesday. Local hero Julia Grabher will face Madison Brengle from the USA tomorrow.
Draw
Top seed in the Austrian 250cc is the Greek Maria Sakkari. Ekaterina Alexandrova is the second seed. The world rankings-17. could win her fourth title here in Linz. It would be the first for Maria Sakkari. The part-time doubles partner of Stefanos Tsistipas would definitely be treated to it.
