Rothschildplatz 4, 1020 Wien, Österreich - On May 19, 2025, Austrian tennis is in the spotlight, because with the Virtual Reality Austrian Championship (VRAC) an innovative league is launched. The Austrian tennis association (ÖTV), together with Laola1, tennis eSports and MXR Sports, started the first official VR tennis league in Austria on May 5, 2025. This new league will not only offer hobby players, but also young talents and club legends the opportunity to take part in an exciting competition.

At the game there is an attractive main prize: The winner of the VRAC Championship receives a flight and accommodation for the World Tennis-Esports-Championship final (WTEC) in Las Vegas, which takes place on September 10, 2025. In order to qualify for this competition, the players have the opportunity to register via the MXR sports website, a process that opened on April 15, 2023.

highlight of the tennis year: Sebastian Ofner in Geneva

In parallel to the exciting developments in the virtual world, Sebastian Ofner achieved considerable success on the real tennis court. The Austrian player defeated his opponent Ivan Gakhov from Russia with a clear 6: 1, 6: 2 in the first round of the ATP 250-Sandplatz tournament in Geneva. This victory, which only lasted 54 minutes, provides the move into the second round, where he will now compete against Nuno Borges from Portugal, who previously prevailed against Alex Michelsen.

The VRAC Championship will give Austrian tennis a completely new dimension. The first impressions of the tennis VR game are consistently positive, since both the visual design and the atmosphere are described as outstanding. The user interface is clear, which benefits both newcomers and experienced players. The game is assessed as a promising simulation, supported by developers who themselves have tennis experience, which creates a remarkable reality that is valued by real players.

A look into the future of tennis

While Sebastian Ofner proves itself on the pitch, the virtual league is becoming increasingly attractive. The event offers tennis clubs the opportunity to present the first VRAC champion and present themselves on a new platform. In addition, on June 25, 2025, the live final will be held in the Laola1 office in Vienna, which is the highlight of the league.

Overall, the path of Sebastian Ofner and the Vrac Championship shows how versatile and dynamic tennis is in Austria. With 20 Austrians who have already made it into the top 100 of the ATP ranking, and the exciting format of the VRAC, the future of tennis in Austria could not be more exciting.
