Grabher celebrates Title-Hattrick-Diepresse.com

Julia Grabher is currently unable to beat ITF-Level and is returning to the top 200 for the first time in around a year. The 28-year-old Vorarlberg woman also won the final of the W75 Sandturnier in Chiasso (SUI), which was endowed with $ 60,000 on Sunday with a 6: 1.6: 2 success of the Ukrainian Katarina Zawatska and celebrated her third tournament victory within three weeks. In the head-to-head with Zawatska, she placed 3-1.

17 victories en suite and that without loss of sets and an improvement of position 413 at the beginning of the year to about 187. An upward trend that also gives joy to your coach Günter Bresnik. « I am very impressive for me. The 17 victories are very impressive. No set loss, you can see that even rarely in training. Once she won a set of five, she was 3: 5 behind, otherwise she played everything away, » said the coach on Sunday of the APA.

Bresnik sees clear improvements, especially in the case of backhand

The former number 54 of the WTA women, which is supervised by Bresnik, had injured the right wrist shortly before the US Open 2023. After an operation, she hadn’t played a match for around seven months. Bresnik sees clear improvements at Grabher. « It serves better than before, the backhand is much better, the forehand is the way it has already been, » analyzed Bresnik. In the time of the injury, the coach Grabher had his left hand train. « You learn a lot. »

Grabher, who last drove from Koper to Chiasso himself by car, does not take a break now, but continued to go to Wiesbaden to the next tournament. It will not be enough for French Open qualification, because the WTA points will only be credited later in the ranking at smaller tournaments. « It’s a shame, she got the points a week too late. » The target for Grabher is clear to Bresnik: return to the top 100.
