The best part, however, is that the Strauss twins are guaranteed a main draw berth for this year’s tournament as they were awarded one of the two wildcards among the women.
“We didn’t know we were getting the wildcard until a few days before the deadline and we were so happy when we knew it,” Teresa added. “We live in Vienna and our friends and families will come to cheer for us and we can’t wait.”
Free from injuries, the twins have resumed their partnership at the start of 2019 and have displayed some promising results since then, including the capture of their first World Tour medals, a pair of bronzes in one-star events in India and Austria.
In Vienna, they know they’ll have their best opportunity to get a good result this season and also to make up for the time they missed together on the court.
“It was tough not being able to play together as much as we’ve wanted in these last two years,” Nadine explained. “Not only we didn’t have a chance to go after our goals but we also lot some of our sponsors. But now we’re both feeling good and excited for what’s to come.”
