Jannik Sinner conquers Vienna again: Triumph at the Erste Bank Open!

Jannik Sinner once again secured the title at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna on October 26, 2025. In an exciting final, the world number two beat Alexander Zverev. The final score of 3:6, 6:3, 7:5 after 2:27 hours of play shows the intensity of the game. This victory marks Sinner's second triumph in Vienna, having already won the title in 2023. With this overall success, he has now won 22 titles in his career, including 21 wins indoors so far this season.

Sinner, who was considered the favorite before the game, won 511,385 euros and valuable 330 points for the ATP rankings. Zverev, who is third in the world rankings, received 275,390 euros for his second place and therefore did not achieve his goal of winning the title. It was the eighth duel between the two players and the head-to-head score is now 4:4.

The finale in detail

In the first set, Zverev took command and won 6:3. But Sinner was able to fight back in the second set by scoring a break and won it 6:3. In the decisive set it remained exciting until the score was 5:5 when Sinner struggled due to problems with his left thigh. He finally managed to break Zverev's serve in the eleventh game and secure the title.

The tournament took place from October 18th to 26th. The surface was hard court and the match was broadcast live on the T2 channel and on the streaming service Fubo. During the tournament, Sinner had an impressive record of 24 wins and three losses on hard courts this season.

Prize money and overall balance

Sinner is not only the winner of the Erste Bank Open this season, but also the top earner in tennis. Last season he earned a total of $16.9 million, which is almost 16 million euros. Among his winnings are the $3.6 million for winning the US Open and more than $4.8 million for winning the ATP crown in Turin. This places him well ahead of his competitors, including Zverev, who earned $8.99 million last year and is in the top three, behind Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Sinner's dominance and his impressive performances are shaping the tennis landscape this season. Experts expect him to continue to be successful in the coming tournaments. Zverev, on the other hand, has to check his form again after this final if he wants to win the title in the next competitions.
