In Oberpullendorf, exciting things in tennis happens: A brand new tennis facility was built at record speed and now there is fresh news about the upcoming state championships.

economic value and national importance

From a financial point of view, the event is also important for the region. The advertising value is estimated at around one million euros, which should not only bring the municipality an upward awareness in terms of awareness, but also in economic value. The total costs for the construction of the Center Courts have amounted to around two million euros, the country was responsible for the construction, while the municipality made the property available.

The association has the opportunity to get into the focus of the tennis world through the Austrian Championship, and not just locally. Developments in international tennis are also not unnoticed. The prize money distributions in the Davis Cup have moved many steps forward since the revision of the format. In the meantime, total pricing of over 15.3 million USD is being sought for the tournament, although Oberpullendorf does not want to remain offside.
