Tennis – TMT: Panzenböck and Krippel celebrate home victories in Traisen

As always in Traisen, the active culinary enthusiasts were spoiled – venison stew, goulash, Indian curry and much more were on the menu. The sporting standard was as high as usual and it was a very successful tournament, especially for the home team.

In the women’s final, two of the best players on the tour faced each other. The two Traisner players Sarah Panzenböck and Lisa Rockenbauer put up a tough fight and delighted the spectators with great rallies and winners. In the end, Panzerböck was able to prevail with 6:4, 6:4. In the men’s competition, Nico Krippel secured the first tournament victory in the open men’s competition on the Tennis Master Tour.
