The 2026 Vienna Open will feature Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev, and the draw for the ATP 500 event has now been revealed.

Main draw play on the indoor hard courts of the Wiener Stadthalle will begin on Monday 26 October and conclude with the final on Sunday 1 November.

This year’s Vienna Open is the 52nd edition of the tournament in Austria. The event is also known as the Erste Bank Open for sponsorship reasons.

World No 1 Jannik Sinner was the reigning Vienna Open champion, but he will not defend his title after ending his season due to a knee injury.

World No 27 Alexander Blockx is the only other player to withdraw from the tournament.

The eight seeded players are: Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, Alex de Minaur, Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul and Jakub Mensik.
