ERSTE BANK OPEN: SUNDAY, 27 OCTOBER MEDIA NOTES Wiener Stadthalle | Vienna, Austria | 21-27 October 2019 | First Held: 1974 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: €2,296,490 | Surface: Indoor Hard ATP Tour Tournament Media ATPTour.com ErsteBank-Open.com Martin Dagahs: [email protected] (ATP PR) Twitter: @ATPTour @ErsteBankOpen Karlheinz Wieser: [email protected] (Press Officer) Facebook: @ATPTour @ErsteBankOpen TV & Radio: TennisTV.com VIENNA FINAL FAST FACTS • No. 1 seed and top-ranked Austrian Dominic Thiem will face No. 5 seed Diego Schwartzman of Argentina for the Erste Bank Open singles title on Sunday. Thiem leads their head-to-head 4-2 overall, but they have split their two meetings in 2019. They have also split their two previous hardcourt clashes. • Thiem is playing at the Erste Bank Open for the 10th straight year (including 2010 qualifying). He began the week with a .500 record (8-8) in his nation’s capital, with his previous best results being quarter-final appearances in 2013 and last year. • World No. 5 Thiem now has the chance to become the first Austrian to claim the championship since Jurgen Melzer earned his second consecutive Vienna title in 2010 by winning an all-Austrian final against Andreas Haider-Maurer. This week, Thiem also became the first Austrian semi-finalist and finalist at the event since 2010. • 26-year-old Thiem is also attempting to become the first player this season to win 5 ATP Tour singles titles. Most Tour-Level Titles in 2019 o Novak Djokovic 4 Matteo Berrettini 2 o Daniil Medvedev 4 Cristian Garin 2 o Rafael Nadal 4 Nick Kyrgios 2 o Dominic Thiem 4 Benoit Paire 2 o Alex de Minaur 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas 2 o Roger Federer 3 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 2 • With his four wins this week, Thiem has now won nine straight matches at ATP 500-level. In his last ATP 500 event, Thiem won the Beijing title earlier this month, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final from a set down. • Schwartzman is seeking his first indoor ATP Tour singles title. Two of his six ATP Tour singles finals have come indoors, but he lost both, at Antwerp in 2016 and 2017. • World No. 15 Schwartzman earned his 39th match-win of 2019 by defeating Gael Monfils in the semi-finals, which ties his career-high for a single season (also 39 wins in 2017). • Schwartzman also remains in contention for the Nitto ATP Finals. He is currently No. 14 in the ATP Race to London, and can move into 12th position with a win in the Vienna final. • 27-year-old Schwartzman would become the second Argentine to win the Vienna title, following Juan Martin del Potro in 2012. Prior to 2012, Argentines had finished as runner-up three times: Guillermo Canas in 2001 and 2004, and del Potro in 2011. • Schwartzman is 7-23 against Top 10 players, but four of those wins came in 2019, including a victory over then-No. 8 Thiem at Buenos Aires. He picked up his fourth Top 10 win of the season this week, when he eliminated No. 9 Karen Khachanov in the quarter-finals. • A win over current World No. 5 Thiem in the Vienna final would be the biggest win of Schwartzman’s career by ranking. This season, he beat two players ranked No. 6 at the time for his current biggest wins by ranking: Kei Nishikori at Rome and Alexander Zverev at the US Open.

    2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field

    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

    Mardy Fish Named Us Davis Cup Captain

    MARDY FISH NAMED U.S. DAVIS CUP CAPTAIN WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., January 9, 2019 – The USTA today announced that former world No. 7 and Davis Cup veteran Mardy Fish has been named the new captain of the U.S. Davis Cup Team. He succeeds Jim Courier to become the 41 st captain in the team’s 120-year history and will make his debut at the newly transformed Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Finals November 18-24 in Madrid, Spain. “Ever since I started playing professionally and started understanding what the Davis Cup was and how special it was, even as a player, I wanted to be the Davis Cup Captain,” Fish said. “I just thought that position was so special – leading the guys and leading the team, building relationships and the team aspect around it. I’m a team-sport athlete stuck in an individual sport, and I love the team aspect of Davis Cup. To even be considered, let alone named the Captain, is incredibly humbling.” In this new era of Davis Cup, the role of Captain will be expanded, with the position working more closely with USTA Player Development throughout the year, as well as traveling to multiple tournaments and camps to support American players, serving as a mentor for American pros and juniors. He will also ensure the U.S. Davis Cup team remains a strong platform to grow the game through the USTA’s Net Generation youth initiative. “Mardy Fish embodies all of the qualities of a successful Davis Cup Captain and will be an invaluable asset to Team USA,” said USTA Chairman of the Board and President Patrick Galbraith.

Nadal is in his seventh consecutive Grand Slam semi-final, eighth overall at the US Open and 33rd in his career, while Dimitrov is playing in his third Grand Slam semi-final. Medvedev and Berrettini are making their Grand Slam semi-final debuts. Medvedev and Berrettini are both 23 years old. This is the first Grand Slam tournament semi-final with two players 23 (or younger) since last year’s Australian Open with Hyeon Chung (21) and Kyle Edmund (23). The last US Open SFs with two players 23 (or younger) was Juan Martin del Potro (20) and Novak Djokovic (22) in 2009. This is also the first Grand Slam semi-final with three players born in the 1990s: Medvedev (1996), Berrettini (1996) and Dimitrov (1991). One of the three is looking to become the first Grand Slam champion born in the 1990s. There have been two finalists: Dominic Thiem at Roland Garros in 2018-19 and Milos Raonic at Wimbledon in 2016.

The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001. Rublev would be the youngest semi-finalist at the US Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2000 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros. A teenager has never defeated a World No.

    The Lta Wild Card Policy

The number of wild cards that are available to the LTA at ITF World Tennis Tour (Men’s & Women’s), ATP and WTA tour level events held in Great Britain is outlined in appendix 1. Specific Tournaments and Events If you would like to learn about a particular tournament or event, you should read the relevant tournament information.
