However, after a high-class match, she was defeated by her compatriot Lindsay Davenport. For Davenport, it was one of the most important victories ever against her great rival, against whom she had played five finals in 2000 alone and had previously lost in the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open.<\/p><p>Venus Williams created a new dimension of athleticism, power and presence with her game, was the world number one for eleven weeks and won a total of seven Grand Slam singles titles, including five times at Wimbledon, the world's most traditional tennis tournament. Although she failed to win the tournament in Linz, she was able to take home a smart dirndl as a memento of her only appearance on the Danube. The following year, Williams had to cancel her appearance at short notice due to a wrist injury.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7b0513 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a7b0513\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"425\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/ladieslinz.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2000_Venus-Williams.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13586\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ladieslinz.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2000_Venus-Williams.png 425w, https:\/\/ladieslinz.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2000_Venus-Williams-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/ladieslinz.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2000_Venus-Williams-8x12.png 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e571499 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e571499\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d99d7a4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d99d7a4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73e9410 elementor-align-center elementor-tablet_extra-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"73e9410\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/ladieslinz.at\/en\/historie\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to the history<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f666ab3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f666ab3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eine Queen in Linz Eine Queen in Linz Das Finale des Jahres 2000 beim Upper Austria Ladies Linz war eines der besten und spektakul\u00e4rsten Matches der gesamten Turnierhistorie: Venus Williams gegen Lindsay Davenport \u2013 ein Duell zweier Weltstars in Ober\u00f6sterreich!
