Carlos Alcaraz will play Vienna again after five years. The organiser's 15 October announcement schedules his first match for 27 October on the Wiener Stadthalle Centre Court.
The tournament start and your chosen day are different
The official programme starts qualifying on 24 October, the main draw on the 26th and stages the finals on 1 November. For a trip from Budapest or Prague, the individual day is therefore more useful than the tournament's overall date range.
The Alcaraz announcement does not yet name his first-round opponent or exact start time. Confirmed participation is not a completed draw: a possible later meeting with another star should not be treated as a guaranteed match. Follow more news in our tennis section.
