National closed Championship of Austria

Title-Holder in Women’s Single is 15-times-winner LIU Jia and her toughest adversary will be clubmate Sofia POLCANOVA who played in good shap last weeks. At the men’s single main favourits are Stefan FEGERL and Daniel HABESOHN both performing very well in German league this season.
