Tennis thought differently

Red Bull BassLine is back, once again bringing a unique blend of world-class tennis, music and entertainment to Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle as the spectacular curtain-raiser to the Erste Bank Open. Since its debut, the event has become a true fan favourite. Unlike a traditional tennis tournament, some of the world’s best players go head-to-head in a fast-paced tie-break format, accompanied by live DJ sets and an atmosphere that feels more like a concert than a tennis event. Explosive rallies, thrilling matchups and plenty of entertainment create an unforgettable evening for tennis fans and event lovers alike. Red Bull BassLine is the perfect way to kick off the Erste Bank Open tournament week - and an experience you’ll only find in Vienna.

With French Open semi-finalist Jakub Mensik we can already announce our first top star for the tournament.

Briefly explained

Unlike a traditional tournament, the players here compete in two groups of three in a “best-of-three” format, with each player facing everyone in their group. However, the tie-breaks are played only up to 5 points instead of 7. The two group winners then face off in a “best-of-five” final to determine the Red Bull BassLine champion.

In our video, a prominent former participant explains the most important rules of Red Bull BassLine. Watch it now!

RBBL Interaktiv

Interactive

The tournament is interactive, the referee is omitted - should it be necessary, the players decide for themselves. A moderator conducts interviews with the players on the court between points and captures expert voices of the other participants in the athletes' zone. The task of the line judges is covered by "electronic line calling". Is the pulse at 180 or is the player relaxed and not letting anything get to him? Fans can find out all this through the interactive data shown exclusively to viewers.
