Vienna Dominic Thiem won his “definitely most valuable title” after the US Open a year ago at the Wiener Stadthalle. The victory at her local tournament, the Erste Bank Open, marked a milestone in the tennis star’s career. The prerequisites for successfully defending the title are not the best for several reasons: Above all, the enormously strong lineup with a total of seven players in the top ten, especially Novak Djokovic, makes it very difficult for Thiem. Also in the race for the title are Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP No. 5), Russians Daniil Medvedev (ATP No. 6) and Andrej Rublev (ATP No. 8), Argentine Diego Schwarzmann (ATP No. 9) and the Italian Matteo Berrettini (ATP No. 10).
From an Austrian point of view, Dominic Thiem is of course the big hunted, but Dennis Novak is another Austrian hope in the main competition. To warm up, the two friends met beforehand and played around the federal capital. You will pass numerous sights until you reach the Wiener Stadthalle.
