At the Players’ Party on Saturday evening at the Wiener Brunnenmarkt at the Garbanzo snack stand, the pickleball community enjoyed hummus and falafel. Prize items from sponsor ProKennex for the top 3 of each event further enhanced the 2nd Austrian Pickleball Championships.

Peter Robic, President of the Pickleball Federation Austria, gave a very positive summary: “I would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated in this Pickleball festival and made these Austrian Championships the largest Pickleball tournament in the country. I am very proud that we were able to provide our athletes with this great setting at the 2nd Austrian Championships. I would especially like to thank Holger Wernicke from the Vienna Sporthotel, who welcomed us to his facility and supported us vigorously. Many thanks to the main event sponsor ProKennex, who provided great prizes as well as high-quality balls and nets. Racketista – The Racket Sports Magazine was on-site to showcase the event in the best light. Thanks to the club and association software ON YOUR MARKS, the organization went smoothly. Our partner Racketlon.Shop provided themed shirts, which were very well received. Thanks to our partner Streamster, the centre court matches were broadcast live and are also available on demand.”
