The Erste Bank Open (sponsored by Erste Bank) is a professional tennis tournament played on indoor hardcourts. Originally an event of the Grand Prix tennis circuit (1974–1989), it is currently part of the ATP World Tour 500 series of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Tour. It is held annually at the Wiener Stadthalle, in Vienna, Austria, since 1974.

The event was also known as the Stadthalle Open, and as the Fischer-Grand Prix from 1976 to 1985, as the CA-TennisTrophy from 1986 to 2003, as the BA-CA-TennisTrophy from 2004 to 2007 and as the Bank Austria TennisTrophy from 2008 to 2010, before being renamed to Erste Bank Open in 2011.[1][2]

Austria's most successful tennis player, Thomas Muster, never won the Vienna Open, but was a runner-up on three occasions (1988, 1993, 1995), and a semi-finalist on another four occasions (1987, 1989, 1990, 1994). Three Austrian players have won the singles title at the Vienna Open: Horst Skoff in 1988, Jürgen Melzer in both 2009 and 2010, and Dominic Thiem in 2019.

History

Founding and early years (1974–1989)

The Vienna Open was established in 1974 by the Austrian Tennis Association as an indoor event held at the in , . It debuted as part of the Grand Prix circuit, serving as a key stop on the professional calendar for top male players during the European indoor season. The tournament featured a singles draw of 32 players and a doubles draw of 16 teams, with play conducted on indoor hard courts in its inaugural edition. The event was not held in 1975. Vitas Gerulaitis claimed the first singles title, defeating Andrew Pattison 6–4, 3–6, 6–3, 6–2 in the final after navigating a competitive field that included seeded players like Raúl Ramírez. The tournament transitioned to indoor carpet courts starting in 1976, a surface that favored baseline rallies and fast-paced play common in European indoor tournaments of the era. The late 1970s saw American Brian Gottfried rise to prominence, securing back-to-back titles in 1977 and 1979, both times against Wojtek Fibak, in straight-sets victories of 6–1, 6–1 and 6–4, 6–0, 6–2, respectively. Gottfried's success continued into the early 1980s with additional wins in 1980 over Trey Waltke (6–2, 6–4, 6–3) and in 1982 against Bill Scanlon (6–1, 6–4, 6–0), establishing a notable rivalry with Fibak across multiple finals. In 1981, Ivan Lendl interrupted Gottfried's streak, rallying from a set down to win 1–6, 6–0, 6–1, 6–2 and claim his first Vienna title as the top seed. Throughout the , the tournament was held on carpet courts, adapting to player preferences and venue capabilities while maintaining its Grand Prix status. Lendl's victory and subsequent appearances helped elevate the event's profile, drawing larger crowds and solidifying as a premier indoor venue with growing international appeal.

ATP Tour integration and modern era (1990–present)

The Vienna Open officially joined the in 1990 as part of the category, equivalent to the modern ATP 250 level, marking its transition from the preceding Grand Prix circuit. Held consistently at the on indoor hard courts, the event upgraded to the Championship Series (now ATP 500) in 1996, elevating its status and attracting higher-ranked players. This integration solidified the tournament's place in the professional calendar, with the surface and venue remaining unchanged to provide reliable playing conditions during the indoor season. Key developments in the modern era include the tournament's emphasis on emerging talent, as seen in 2017 when it featured prominent Next Gen ATP players alongside home favorite Dominic Thiem, boosting its appeal to younger audiences. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced challenges, but the event proceeded in 2020 under strict health protocols, though Thiem, the 2019 champion, exited in the quarterfinals. In 2021, it returned to full operations, contributing to the tour's resumption amid global restrictions. Further enhancements came in 2024 with the addition of on-site qualifying rounds on October 19 and 20, expanding access for lower-ranked players and increasing the overall event footprint. Significant milestones highlight the tournament's prestige, including Thiem's victory in 2019, which cemented his legacy as the last Austrian champion to date. Alexander Zverev has also excelled, reaching multiple deep runs such as quarterfinals in 2023 and 2024, and the final in 2025, underscoring his consistent performance on the indoor hard courts. Attendance has surged, surpassing 70,000 spectators in 2022 and reaching over 73,000 in 2023, reflecting growing fan engagement. The 2025 edition, the 51st staging, saw Jannik Sinner defeat Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 in the final to claim his second title there, while a new attendance record of 82,000 was set, aided by the introduction of additional courts at the historic Marx-Halle venue.

This multi-purpose venue, situated in the 15th district, features Hall D as the main court for the tournament, with a capacity of approximately 16,000 spectators in its standard configuration, though tennis setups typically accommodate around 10,000 fans due to court and safety arrangements. The Stadthalle has hosted the event since 1974 and underwent expansions in 2006, including the addition of Hall F, enhancing its facilities for major sporting events. The tournament is played on indoor hard courts, providing a fast-paced playing surface that favors aggressive styles and big servers, with a 2025 surface speed rating of 1.23—indicating quicker conditions than the ATP average.

The singles competition consists of a 32-player main draw, comprising 28 direct entries based on and 4 qualifiers who advance through a separate 16-player qualifying draw held prior to the main event. Matches are played as best-of-three sets, with standard tiebreaks at 6-6 in the first two sets; the deciding third set requires a player to win by two games without a tiebreak, adhering to ATP regulations for non-Grand Slam events. The top 16 seeds receive a bye into the second round, allowing them to bypass the opening round of 32. The doubles event features a 16-team draw, also in single-elimination format with best-of-three sets. Unlike singles, doubles matches employ no-ad scoring in tiebreaks for the first two sets, and the third set is decided by a 10-point super tiebreak if necessary, which must be won by a margin of two points. Qualification for doubles is limited, with a small 4-team qualifying draw providing one additional spot to the main event, though most teams enter directly via rankings. Since 2015, the tournament has been classified as an ATP 500-level event, having previously been an ATP 250 from 2009 to 2014 after a demotion from its earlier Championship Series status (1996–2008).
