Daniil Medvedev: The 2022 Champion
Daniil Medvedev has fond memories of Vienna. In 2022, the former World No. 1 captured the Erste Bank Open title with a three-set victory over Denis Shapovalov. One year later, the US Open champion reached the final again, where he was eventually stopped by Jannik Sinner. Medvedev has long since established himself as a true Vienna specialist – and in 2026, the Monaco-based star will once again be one of the biggest names in the field, with his unconventional playing style, extraordinary reach and prowess on fast indoor courts.
Lorenzo Musetti: Italian flair with Viennese history
Lorenzo Musetti completes the star-studded duo. With his versatile game and elegant one-handed backhand, the Italian has firmly established himself among the world’s best players – and he knows the Wiener Stadthalle very well. In 2024, Musetti reached the semi-finals of the Erste Bank Open before being stopped by eventual champion Jack Draper. It was a similar story in 2025: Musetti again made it to the semi-finals, where he lost to eventual champion Alexander Zverev, who has also already confirmed his participation in this year’s Erste Bank Open. Now the Italian is ready for another shot at the Vienna title – giving fans another chance to see one of the Tour’s most spectacular players in action this October.
