Murray and Berrettini hit the stage
Not before 5.30 pm, two-times Vienna winner Andy Murray will make his comeback on the centercourt of the Stadthalle. After a long and nagging injury the fan-favorite has improved his tennis over the past weeks and is looking for his first win over Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz who already defeated him two times this year.
To round things out, Italy’s Matteo Berrettini – the tournament’s number 3 – will take the stage on the centercourt for the first time since his semi-final defeat at the hands of Dominic Thiem two years ago. The 25-year old from Rome will face Australian qualifier Alexei Popyrin.
