The big, season finale of the FIR World Tour 2018 will be held at the end of the year from the 23rd to 25th November: the 12. Austrian Open – World Tour Finals.
The winners of the FIR World Tour Race will be crowned at Tennis Point Vienna for the first time in history. After 10 years in Wr. Neudorf/Lower Austria the Super World Tour event returns to Vienna, where the very first international Racketlon tournament in Austria was held in 2003. Tennis Point Vienna is one of 9 Austrian Racketlon Hotspots. All tournament information is now online at the 12. Austrian Open – World Tour Finals website and the tournament is open for entries on fir.tournamentsoftware.com

Record Champion is Magnus Eliasson with 4 titles
The record breaking champion with 4 Austrian Open titles is still the legend Magnus Eliasson from Sweden. This will not change as both former tournament director Christoph Krenn and former world number one Jesper Ratzer with three titles each have ended their Racketlon careers. Defending champions are Kasper Jonsson (from Denmark) and Austria’s Christine Seehofer. While it is not sure if the Dane will be in action, Seehofer wants to take her third title. The RFA will also do its best to get the defending European Champion Rav Rykowski to Vienna.
