Tennis State Championships: Neumayer Claims Fourth Title, Perelygina Triumphs in Women's Final

Neumayer Defends His Reputation

In the men's final, Lukas Neumayer from Salzburg and Joel Schwärzler from Vorarlberg faced off — two players who already bring international experience to the court. Neumayer, seeded number two, met number-three-seeded Schwärzler. Neumayer decided the final 6:4, 6:3 in his favor, celebrating his fourth overall state championship title.

After his victory, Neumayer spoke of a successful performance in his ORF interview: „Es war wirklich ein gutes Match. Ich habe genau das, was ich mir vorgenommen habe, auf den Platz gebracht. Ich bin extrem happy mit dem Level, weil ich die letzten Tage und Wochen ein bisschen gekämpft habe. Das war echt ein gutes Match.“ In doing so, he alluded to the more difficult phase he had experienced in the days and weeks leading up to the tournament.

With another title win, Neumayer consolidates his position as one of the most successful domestic tennis players of recent years. For Schwärzler, who is based in Vorarlberg and as a young player continues to be counted among the hopes of Austrian men's tennis, only second place remained this time. Nonetheless, reaching the final underscored his upward trajectory.

Taucher Secures the Wheelchair Title

A championship title was also awarded in wheelchair tennis on finals day. Maximilian Taucher from Vorarlberg defeated Nico Langmann from Lower Austria 6:3, 6:4. The men's wheelchair final thus featured the top two of the seeding list, underscoring the quality of the competition.

Broadcast and Significance of the Tournament

The Austrian Tennis Championships, held in Oberpullendorf, produced clear winners in all three singles contests. ORF Sport+ broadcast the matches live from 9:00 a.m., making the finals accessible to a broad domestic audience. The title fights are considered one of the most important fixtures on the Austrian tennis calendar.

Overall, this year's edition of the state championships shows a blend of established forces and emerging talents. While Neumayer claimed his fourth title, placing him in the ranks of the most successful Austrian champions, Perelygina was able to celebrate her first state championship title in the women's event. Both winners will carry the points from the tournament into their upcoming international appearances.

The organizers in Oberpullendorf can look back on a successful edition. With Neumayer, Perelygina, and Taucher, three names have been confirmed as state champions who could make headlines both at the elite and youth levels. The broadcast on ORF Sport+ also ensured the tournament received media attention beyond the tennis scene.
