The European Hard Court swing to end the ATP season continues with the draw confirmed for the Vienna Open (Erste Bank Open Vienna) which is due to take place from 23 October - 29 October.
Daniil Medvedev is defending champion in Vienna and will face a tough examination in his opener. Arthur Fils awaits, the rising French star who will face Stefanos Tsitsipas on draw release day at the European Open Antwerp in the semi-finals.
Speaking of Tsitsipas, a landmark tie will be there for him when he gets to Vienna as he faces Dominic Thiem in the very first round in a tie we didn't get to see in Antwerp.
Medvedev's draw couldn't get harder either as if he gets through, Grigor Dimitrov or Lorenzo Musetti await.
In the other half, Alexander Zverev is the seed to kick it off and faces Sebastian Ofner. Cameron Norrie could be a second round opponent.
Andrey Rublev starts against Alexei Popyrin, while another section of death sees Frances Tiafoe face Dan Evans with the winner facing Gael Monfils or Daniel Altmaier and in the bottom section, Ben Shelton faces Jannik Sinner. The winner facing Mackenzie McDonald or Francisco Cerundolo. A superb week awaits in Vienna.
