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 Heumarkt in Vienna is the center of Red Bull Bassline - just before the Erste Bank Open starts. Keep your eyes peeled to see who's in the lineup this year.
If you want to experience tennis in an unprecedented atmosphere, don't miss the innovative tournament format on October 20 at 4 pm (admission). From 5 pm the six stars will battle it out with the winner raising the trophy just 2 hours later.

Entertainment

Red Bull BassLine

At Red Bull BassLine, fans are closer than ever to the players, who can warm up on ergometers right next to the court between their stints and interact with the spectators. From the first serve to the decision in the final, the event lasts around three hours as the sets are directly decided in tie-break format. Red Bull BassLine also brings other innovations to the court. For example, a DJ heats up the fans even during the rallies.

Interactive

Red Bull Bassline

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.
