The Tournament:

The Generali Ladies Linz launched at the 6,000-person capacity TipsArena Linz in 1991.

Champions include WTA greats such as two-time winners Lindsay Davenport, Ana Ivanovic and Jana Novotna, along with Justine Henin, Amélie Mauresmo, Mary Pierce, Maria Sharapova, Petra Kvitova and 2012 titlist Victoria Azarenka, the first player to compete in Linz as World No.1. (Src: WTA)

Home to a vibrant music and arts scene, Linz is the capital of the state of Upper Austria. Situated in the north central part of the country, it is about 19 miles south of the Czech border.

About City

Linz is a city in Upper Austria, straddling the Danube River midway between Salzburg and Vienna. Baroque buildings, including former town hall, Altes Rathaus and the old cathedral or Alter Dom, ring Hauptplatz, the old town’s main square. The riverside Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz has a major modern art collection. Across the river, the striking Ars Electronica Center focuses on society, technology and life in the future.

She's worked her ass off this year. I remember she was #66 in the world early in the year... I was happy when she got back in the Top 20, but great to see her in the Top 10 and qualifying for Singapore.

I know, and she took that short break to get married but it still didn't get her off of her game. That's one plucky competitor. Love her!
