Tennis will once again be back in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Vienna with the 2021 Erste Bank Open. It's a returning event as it was even held last year in 2020 during the height of the pandemic and the 2021 edition might even feature an even more impressive field than last year's which had Djokovic. The number one player in the world won't be back in 2021 but other greats will.
We will get to see Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev, Matteo Berrettini, Casper Ruud, Auger-Aliassime, Hurkacz and many others. It's an ATP 500 event so the strong field is not a surprise but what is a surprise is that defending champion Andrey Rublev will not be back.
