14.07.2022 | Preparations are in full swing. This year, the most legendary sports town in the Alps will once again be transformed into a venue for world-class tennis for a whole week, attracting professional players and enthusiastic tennis fans alike to the Gamsstadt as part of the Generali Open.
Top tennis players visit Kitzbühel
The promising list of starters for this year's Generali Open Kitzbühel boasts an attractive and international line-up. At the same time, the top-class field of participants sets high expectations. As many as four clay court players from the top 25 ranking of the ATP World Tour are to be mentioned as crowd pullers right at the top of the entry list. Among them even a Top 5 player, namely last year's winner in the singles, Caspar Ruud. So the Norwegian wants to defend his title again this year. In addition, the 26-year-old Italian Matteo Berrettini, who is number 15 in the world rankings, has announced his participation. He will be closely followed by the number 20, the Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, who will also be taking part again, as well as the French tennis professional Gael Monfils. Furthermore, local hero Dominic Thiem will also provide the numerous cheering spectators with sporting entertainment during the matches. The first-round appearance of Austrian tennis star Dominic Thiem has already been scheduled. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 26th, 2022 in the night session at 7.30 pm under floodlights.
For one week, from Saturday, July 23th, 2022 to Saturday, July 30th, 2022, the traditional tournament under tournament director Alexander Antonitsch guarantees pure excitement and emotion with thrilling matches and the dramatic fight for the highly coveted trophy. The matches will start at 11.00 am every day. But it is also worth taking a look away from the courts, as there will once again be plenty on offer at the Kitzbühel Tennis Club (KTC). Other special program items include the 7th Huber's Weißwurst-Frühschoppen on Sunday, July 24th, 2022 from 11.00 am or the Krone Ladies Day with Babsi Schett on Tuesday, July 26th, 2022.
