On October 17, 2025, the Wiener Stadthalle will once again be transformed into a spectacular tennis party zone: Red Bull BassLine is back! 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.
Briefly explained
In our video, a prominent former participant explains the most important rules of Red Bull BassLine. Watch it now!
Entertainment
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
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.
