Erste Bank Open (Vienna, Austria) - Preview

Stefanos Tsitsipas leads the way at the Erste Bank Open, where he will try to win his third ATP Tour title of the season. But the Greek will have his hands full against a loaded field. In the first round, he will play the man who defeated him in Vienna last year: former World No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov. There are three singles places remaining in the field at the Nitto ATP Finals, and players in the hunt will look to surge in Austria. Matteo Berrettini, the third seed in Vienna, is next in line to qualify. Others including Norwegian Casper Ruud, Pole Hubert Hurkacz, Italian Jannik Sinner and Briton Cameron Norrie are also competing in the ATP 500. First-round blockbusters are plentiful at the Erste Bank Open, including Tsitsipas against Dimitrov, Hurkacz playing former World No. 1 Andy Murray and Argentine Diego Schwartzman facing Italian Fabio Fognini.
