Top seed Kraus from Vienna dominated the women’s final, defeating Austrian Tennis Federation (ÖTV) contract player and No. 6 seed Claudia Gasparovic 6-1, 6-2, maintaining her biennial winning rhythm—having triumphed in 2021, 2023, and now 2025.
In the men’s final, third-seeded Salzburg native Neumayer fought for two hours and 54 minutes to outlast his Davis Cup teammate from Lower Austria, Jurij Rodionov with a 7-6(7), 6-7(5), 6-2 victory. It marked Neumayer’s third consecutive national title following his wins in 2022 and 2023.
