"We are delighted that the most important women's sporting event in Austria is now also organising the largest junior initiative for women's tennis in our country."
Markus Achleitner, State Councillor for Sport
In keeping with the motto "Giving children a chance", the "1,000 rackets for 1,000 girls" campaign is taking place as part of the Upper Austria Ladies Linz. The campaign, which was launched together with the Austrian Tennis Association (ÖTV) and the Upper Austrian Tennis Association (OÖTV) at the Upper Austria Ladies Linz 2021, is primarily aimed at getting children interested in the sport and giving them a unique opportunity to receive a tennis racket. Dunlop, the official ball partner of the tournament, and LINZ AG are also supporting the campaign.
The organisers will provide a total of 1,000 tennis rackets over several years, which will be "raffled off" to 1,000 girls between the ages of six and ten. This campaign is kindly supported by Linz Airport.
As part of the event, all participants will receive a taster session, contact with coaches and club representatives and a bulging "goodie bag" from our partners.
Registration for the "1,000 tennis rackets for 1,000 girls" 2026 is not yet possible.
Information will be available here as soon as it becomes available.
