The 2010 Generali Ladies Linz was a women's tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. It was the 24th edition of the Generali Ladies Linz, and part of the WTA International tournaments of the 2010 WTA Tour. It was held at the TipsArena Linz in Linz, Austria, from 9 October until 17 October 2010. Seventh-seeded Ana Ivanovic won the singles title.
World No. 1 Serena Williams was due to make her comeback from foot surgery at this tournament,[1] but she withdrew after reaggregating the injury at training.[2] Her original wildcard slot was therefore given to Ana Ivanovic. Agnieszka Radwańska also withdrew from the tournament due to a stress fracture in her foot.[3]
Ivanovic won the title, defeating Patty Schnyder in the championship match which lasted 47 minutes; it was the shortest championship match of the season. The victory also ended a two-year title drought, and raised her ranking up from world No. 36 to world No. 26.[4]
