Germany's Julia Goerges headed to the kitchen for a very special off-court cooking experience.

Julia Goerges met the hotel chef and the pair made Kaiserschmarrn, a well-known Austrian dessert.

Kaiserschmarrn is a light, caramelized pancake, and Julia Goerges' Kaiserschmarrn was a hit.

Patricia Mayr-Achleitner reached the final here last year but this year fell in the second round.
