This week, the players on the ATP<\/a> will be divided as Europe plays host to not one, but two ATP 500 tournaments: the Vienna Open<\/a> and the Swiss Indoors Basel.<\/p>\n

While the likes of Taylor Fritz<\/a> and Ben Shelton will be in Switzerland, there will be some top talent present at the event in Austria, too.<\/p>\n

We know Jannik Sinner<\/a> will be the hot favourite for the Vienna Open, but we\u2019ve also got information on everyone else playing and how much prize money is available.<\/p>\n

Wiener Stadthalle was designed by Austrian architect Roland Rainer and opened in 1958. It was later renovated and expanded in the 1970s, the 1990s, and most recently in 2006.<\/p>\n

Half of the men\u2019s top 10 will be playing in the Vienna Open 2025, with Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev<\/a>, Alex de Minaur<\/a>, Lorenzo Musetti, and Karen Khachanov all present.<\/p>\n

With Alcaraz out of action this week, Sinner will be chasing down the end-of-year number one spot<\/a>, although it\u2019s unlikely he can clinch that now.<\/p>\n

Zverev\u2019s recent comments about Sinner and Alcaraz<\/a> being helped by tournaments will become relevant again this week as the German looks to stake his claim on this ATP 500 event.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winner Jack Draper<\/a> will not be taking part due to injury. Other notable names who will be involved in Vienna will be Andrey Rublev, Tommy Paul and Daniil Medvedev.<\/p>\n

In total there will be 32 players in the main draw, with four qualifiers and four wildcards involved.<\/p>\n

Prize money<\/p>\n

The prize pot available for the Vienna Open is $3,180,659, with $596,630 paid out to the champion. The runner-up will receive $321,013 for making it to the final.<\/p>\n

Defeated semi-finalists will also come away with a decent payout, with $171,127 on offer.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of the Vienna Open prize money:<\/p>\n

Here, The Tennis Gazette team offers up their predictions for the Vienna Open 2025, and it\u2019s safe to say there\u2019s only one man they can see taking the title.<\/p>\n

Matthew Johns<\/a>: It is somewhat surprising to see Jannik Sinner still on the entry list for the Vienna Open, but he has to be my pick to win the title. Sinner appears to have overcome any physical issues from the Shanghai Masters and is by far the best player in the field.<\/p>\n

Lee Clarke<\/a>: If Sinner does go ahead and enter he wins; it\u2019s that simple. Is he really and truly fit enough? Time will tell.<\/p>\n

Peter Lynch<\/a>: It has to be Jannik Sinner lifting another trophy in Vienna. He\u2019ll have found his feet again after the Six Kings Slam, and will be the man to beat for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Everything you need to keep track of the action at the Vienna Open…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":234129,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428,130079],"class_list":{"0":"post-234128","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis","10":"tag-vienna-open"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
