Erste Bank Open Set New Attendance Record in Vienna

The Question of the Next Record

“How do you beat that next year?” Holzinger-Burgstaller asked in response to the record figures. Her question also made clear that all those involved were discussing a new target for attendance.

Straka remained unimpressed. “People have been saying that for years, and we have still managed to beat it every year,” he explained, pointing to the repeated growth in previous years.

Internationally Attended Tournament

The tournament was supported by notable tennis players such as Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, and Alex de Minaur. Their names reflect the event’s international character, while its audience reached a new high this year.

The record is also an accolade for the organizers in Vienna. It demonstrates that, following a successful tournament, the Erste Bank Open were able to further expand their profile and retain their existing audience.

With all seven days completely sold out, the event’s immediate success is clear. How far attendance can rise next year remains uncertain, as available capacity is limited.

The Erste Bank Open therefore remain an example of a sports tournament that has been able to grow continuously over the past several years. The current record sets a new benchmark for the next edition.
