clear: the diversity of Linz in all its manifestations and facets works of art along with folkloric objects and other rare documents bear witness in equal measure to the citizens* of Linz their traditions and to specific occurrences as well as historical events and attributions such as that of steel city or ​“Führer city” the only one within Austria during the National Socialist dictatorship What connects this past with the present and what continuities are still discernible today what it is that typsches Linz and what it is like living in the Danube city on the edge of the Alps The exhibits originate from different epochs and recount tales of forgotten mundane and extraordinary moments from different perspectives Together they reveal the special features of the city and create a vivid picture of Linz 5 seed Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine moved into her first WTA singles final in nearly three years with a 6-1 8 seed Clara Tauson of Denmark at the Upper Austria Ladies Linz on Saturday 4 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in Sunday's final at the WTA 500 indoor hard-court event 6-4 in just 1 hour and 13 minutes on Saturday extending her dominant lead in their head-to-head to 4-1 Looking ahead to Sunday, Yastremska holds a narrow 3-2 head-to-head lead over Alexandrova. They have not squared off since 2022, where Alexandrova defeated Yastremska en route to the 's-Hertogenbosch title. Dayana's day: In the semifinals, Yastremska needed 1 hour and 48 minutes to notch her second Top 50 win in a row, having already beaten Maria Sakkari in Friday's quarterfinals. Yastremska now holds a 2-0 record against Tauson. "The process, and just trying to play ball by ball, that’s what brings me to the final," Yastremska said afterwards. "Just the fighting spirit and trying to play with fun, with good vibes and good emotions." Yastremska will contest her first final since finishing runner-up to Zhang Shuai at another indoor hard-court event, Lyon, in March of 2022. Yastremska is aiming for her first title since triumphing on the clay of Strasbourg in 2019. View this post on Instagram A post shared by WTA Linz (@wtalinz) In the clash between three-time WTA titlists, Yastremska eased to the one-set lead by breaking Tauson twice in the opener. In the second set, a double fault by Tauson gave Yastremska the critical break for a 4-3 lead. But the power-hitting clash was far from over as Yastremska had to get through one last test, firing pinpoint groundstrokes as she fended off five break points in a gritty hold for 5-3.  Tauson saved one match point on her own serve, but Yastremska successfully closed out the win one game later, wrapping up the match a perfect 9-for-9 on break points saved. Yastremska slammed 39 winners to Tauson's 15 in the encounter. Yastremska slid from No. 33 down to No. 72 in the PIF Rankings this week after losing many of her Australian Open semifinal points from last year, but the Ukrainian is potentially on the verge of bouncing right back up into the Top 50 after her big week in Linz. Despite Saturday's result, Tauson is still having a strong season. The Dane is 10-2 on the year, having started 2025 by winning the Auckland title. Tauson is the only player to defeat Madison Keys so far this year, having ousted the newest Grand Slam champion during her Auckland run.

Muchova's only stumble came towards the end, as she nearly let a 4-1 second-set lead slip amid some careless errors -- but she was able to laugh about it after regaining her focus. "I think you saw some silly shots," Muchova told Barbara Schett in her on-court interview.  "Sometimes it's too many options. I'm trying to work on it to pick the right shots. It's fun, but sometimes ... Hopefully no one saw what I just did!" Muchova will face No.6 seed and 2023 champion Anastasia Potapova in the quarterfinals. Elsewhere, Anna Blinkova dealt out the biggest upset of the tournament to date, defeating No.2 seed Elina Svitolina 6-4, 6-4 in 1 hour and 37 minutes. In a match filled with intense, high-octane baseline exchanges and 12 breaks of serve in total, Svitolina paid the price for landing only 53% of her first serves, and winning just 32% of her second serve points. Svitolina threatened a comeback when she found a phenomenal forehand winner to break Blinkova as the World No.83 served for the match, but was unable to maintain the same quality in the subsequent game. The result was Blinkova's first win over Svitolina in three meetings, and put her into her first tour-level quarterfinal since Bad Homburg last June. She will face No.8 seed Clara Tauson in the last eight. Elsewhere, qualifier Petra Martic upset No.7 seed Elina Avanesyan 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 in a 2-hour, 49-minute barnburner to notch her first Top 50 win in 11 months. No.5 seed Dayana Yastremska also advanced, coming from 4-2 down in the first set to defeat qualifier Antonia Ruzic 7-5, 6-1. The Ukrainian will face No.3 seed Maria Sakkari in the quarterfinals. After the Aussie swing comes to a close, the Hologic WTA Tour will still match on. The 2025 calendar features two events the week after the Australian Open: the WTA 500 Upper Austria Ladies Linz and the WTA 250 Singapore Open. Main-draw entry lists for these two tournaments came out recently, using the PIF Rankings of Dec. 30, 2024. Main-draw action at both of these events begins on Monday, Jan. 27. Major titlists Emma Raducanu and Sofia Kenin will head to Singapore, while former Top 5 players Belinda Bencic, Elina Svitolina and Maria Sakkari will contest the event in Linz. 2021 US Open winner Raducanu and 2020 Australian Open titlist Kenin are the pair of Grand Slam singles champions on the main-draw entry list for the hardcourt event in Singapore. This is Singapore's first tour-level event since the 2018 WTA Finals. World No.14 Anna Kalinskaya leads the Singapore entry list after a strong 2024 season. Last year, Kalinskaya made her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the Australian Open and her first tour-level finals at WTA 1000 Dubai and WTA 500 Berlin. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Singapore Tennis Open (@sgtennisopen) Elise Mertens, Wang Xinyu, Camila Osorio, Wang Yafan, Moyuka Uchijima, Taylor Townsend, Bernarda Pera and Renata Zarazua are other Top 75 players in the main-draw field. Completing the entry list are Caroline Dolehide, Alycia Parks, Erika Andreeva, Sonay Kartal, Tatjana Maria, Hailey Baptiste, Ann Li, Olivia Gadecki, Wang Xiyu and No.100 Nadia Podoroska, the last direct entry. No.101 Yuliia Starodubtseva and No.102 Rebecca Marino are the first two main-draw alternates. On the indoor hardcourts of Linz, Austria, 2021 Olympic gold medalist Bencic will continue her return to tour following the birth of her daughter Bella last April. Bencic tops the main-draw entry list on her special ranking of No.15 after her maternity leave. After starting her comeback at ITF Challenger events last autumn, former World No.4 Bencic returned to WTA-level matches this season, going 1-1 at United Cup and reaching the Adelaide second round as a qualifier. This will be her first Linz appearance since 2019. Also atop the Linz main-draw entry list are former World No.3 players Svitolina and Sakkari. Svitolina will be making her first Linz appearance since her tournament debut way back in 2013, when she reached the Round of 16.

her career-high mark is No the 30-year-old Alexandrova reflected on what it means to still be competing at a high level as she enters her 30s “Maybe you finally grew up on the court,” Alexandrova said Not being too frustrated with little mistakes “I want to continue this way during the season of course -- but focus on the things I need to do on the court instead of what I want to achieve.” Starting from the heyday of historicism in Linz which culminated in the construction of the Francisco Carolinum the exhibition in the Schlossmuseum sheds light on the exciting development of modernism in Linz What traces have the dawn of modernism in Vienna the founding of the Wiener Werkstätte and the revolutionary works of artists such as Tina Blau Koloman Moser and Egon Schiele left in Linz The exhibition is not only dedicated to the question of how the works of these important artists came to be in the collections of the province of Upper Austria but also focuses on Upper Austrian artistic personalities The focus is on the master draftsmen Alfred Kubin and Klemens Brosch as well as the material artist Leopold Forstner These extraordinary artists shaped the cultural reorientation of Upper Austria and provided important impulses that supported the artistic awakening the extensive presentation of the cultural-historical holdings paints a cross-disciplinary picture of the fin de siècle art scene in Upper Austria From architecture to painting to applied art it becomes clear how the trends of the turn of the century manifested themselves in the region and entered into a dialogue with international developments The exhibition invites you to explore the complex connections between Upper Austria and the international art scene of the fin de siècle Elisabeth Plank's artistic interest lies in the fundamental questions of painting Even when she incorporates graphic elements into her compositions or works in small formats on paper it is always the concerns and conditions of painting that she deals with intensively and consistently the relationship between motif layers and different image levels are what preoccupy the painter She succeeds in finding artistic answers that are both individual and intuitive Elisabeth Plank effortlessly masters the large format This can be seen in her numerous large-format works in which the sovereignty of the creation process is inscribed In her first comprehensive museum exhibition in Linz Castle Elisabeth Plank shows a selection of works from the last four decades The latest series of works entitled Lyrics which consists of sixteen large-format paintings 1960 in Wels) studied from 1979 to 1984 at the University of Applied Arts I am really glad to welcome you to the third edition of the Upper Austria GP It’s really nice to see how the event has developed over the three years Our volunteers even given great feedback about the organisation Times are difficult globally but we still have 52 nations present in Linz and we are proud to welcome them I have to thank the IJF for a strong collaboration Thanks also to my team;

Top seed Karolina Muchova held her nerve Friday at the Upper Austria Ladies Linz to reach her first semifinal of the season 6 seed and former champion Anastasia Potapova in a 6-3 6-3 quarterfinal that lasted more than two hours Sidelined after wrist surgery at this time last year the 2023 Roland Garros finalist has now reached the semifinals or better in five of the 11 tournaments she's played since returning to the tour last June Muchova needed 2 hours and 10 minutes to finally finish off the 2023 winner who responded admirably to dropping the first set and later had three break point chances in the match's final game that would've extended the contest and she just took a chance," Muchova said afterwards it could've gone either way if she broke me "I was just thinking where I was going to serve .. and the serve in the last game really helped me." 😤@karomuchova7 | #WTALinz pic.twitter.com/N5iUFMUrZ6 Muchova also saved four break points in the last game of the first set before serving things out -- and clutch serving defined the match for the World No. 19. She saved 11 of the 12 break points she faced in all, served nine aces, and won 71% of the points played behind her first serve. For a spot in her seventh career Hologic WTA Tour final, Muchova will face No. 4 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, a two-time Linz finalist. Last year's runner-up hammered more than 50 minutes in a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 comeback against qualifier Petra Martic, who herself was runner-up to Potapova two years ago. Alexandrova was 0-2 against Martic previously, but saved 13 of the 14 break points she faced -- including all 11 combined in sets two and three -- to advance. "It was difficult to start against her because she's quite a skilled player, there are a lot of slices and drop shots and everything," she said. "It's kind of difficult to get used to, but I think in the second set I found the rhythm and I tried to keep it for the whole match. I ran a lot today, but I think that's good. It was a great match from me and I'm really happy with the result today."
