Defending champion Sinner is not coming to Vienna this year

Without the defending champion, the Erste Bank Open 2024 (October 19th to 27th) will take place in the Wiener Stadthalle this year.

World number one Jannik Sinner will not be coming to the federal capital this year.

The 23-year-old South Tyrolean is playing at the ATP 500 event in Beijing this week and will then play at the 1000 in Shanghai. After his trip to China, an exhibition tournament in Riyadh (October 16th to 19th) is on the program.

After the Asia trip, three more tournaments

However, Sinner decided not to defend his 500 world ranking points from last year in Vienna. However, the Italian can also afford to take a short break, after all, the world number one is already over 4,000 points ahead of second-placed Alex Zverev.

At the end of the season, Sinner only planned to start at the ATP 1000 tournament in Paris-Bercy (October 28th to November 3rd) and the ATP Finals in Turin (November 10th to 17th). The Davis Cup Finals are also on the program from November 19th to 24th.
