In the match of the day, Austria's great young tennis hope Joel Schwärzler will clash with the top-seeded German Alexander Zverev, who has already won the ATP highlight in Vienna in 2021 , not before 6 pm. “I see it as a great opportunity to play against the number three in the world rankings,” said the 18-year-old from Vorarlberg, who is looking forward to the match against 22-time ATP tournament winner Zverev. The two had only lately met on Friday at the "Red Bull BassLine ” show event. Zverev won the mini-tiebreak match 2-1.

Other top stars in action on Monday: Italian Matteo Berrettini will be up against a qualifier in the second match of the day, as will the tournament's No. 8, Australian Alexei Popyrin, who will conclude the day on Center Court in the fourth match.

Incidentally, Monday is the only tournament day on which seat tickets for the Erste Bank Open 2024 are still available.
