The Greek tennis sensation had a successful season, especially in the first half, when he reached the championship matches of the Australian Open and the Barcelona Open. On top of this, Stefanos Tsitsipas also enjoyed a triumphant campaign at the Los Cabos Open, as he has now extended his ATP singles title tally to 10. With 43 wins from 62 matches under his belt this season, the Greek will enter the Vienna Open as the 4th seed.

Dominic Thiem, on the other hand, made a notable impression at the Austrian Open, where he reached the title match of the event. However, the 30-year-old has only managed to garner 23 wins from 50 matches, with a number of initial round defeats during the hard court season. After another disappointing campaign at the European Open, Thiem will enter Vienna as an unseeded player.
