Tennis thought differently
Red Bull Bassline is not a regular tennis tournament: As the kick-off of the Erste Bank Open, six of the best players in the world gather for a unique tie-break tournament played while the DJ drops the beats. The court at Erste Bank Open 2 go on the premises of the Wiener Eislauf-Verein at Heumarkt is the center of Red Bull Bassline - just before the Erste Bank Open starts. In quick and thrilling matches first the winners of the Round Robin group stages are determined who then meet in the final for ultimate victory.

Zverev beats Thiem in 2023 final
The third edition of Red Bull Bassline was won by German Alexander Zverev in front of a sold-out crowd. The 2021 Erste Bank Open winner prevailed in his group with two straight wins over American Frances Tiafoe and Hungarian Fabian Marzson. In the final, Zverev faced local hero Dominic Thiem, who prevailed in his group against compatriot Jurij Rodionov and Andrey Rublev. The final was a rematch of the 2020 US Open final, and unlike then, Zverev this time kept the upper hand, winning 5-1, 5-0, 3-5, 5-4. He thus succeeds Carlos Alcaraz and Karen Khachanov as winner of the kick-off for the Erste Bank Open.
