Zverev plans Triumph in Vienna: The way to the Grand Slam conqueror!

Alexander Zverev comments on a press appointment in Monte Carlo about the current developments in his career and the upcoming clay court season. As part of this event, the German tennis professional, who has close connections to Austria, makes it clear that he is planning to play in Vienna until the end of his career, where he was able to win in 2021. Zverev is a regular guest at the Vienna Stadthallen tournament, the Erste Bank Open, and hopes for a strong field of participants this year, among other things with the participation of five top ten players, including defending champion Jack Draper and promising talents such as Jakub Mensik and Joao Fonseca. A big goal is also Jannik Sinner, on his decision Straka, the tournament director, is working.

At the press conference, Zverev speaks humorously about his goal of winning a Grand Slam tournament. He has already lost all four Grand Slam final and could become the first player to do this. His motivation remains high, dreaming of his dream of becoming number one in tennis. Critical topics are also discussed; Zverev comments on Carlos Alcaraz 'statement, which indicates the pressure that Jannik Sinners created, as well as the three-month doping lock of the Italian, which he calls "nonsense".

commitment to social projects

In addition to his sporting ambitions, Zverev is involved in social. He founded the “Surcharge against Diabetes” foundation to help children in poorer countries because he himself suffers from diabetes. His new sponsor, Omnibiotic, a Probiotic manufacturer based in Graz, supports this project by donating a euro to the foundation for every pack sold. 

The placement of sponsors in tennis has great potential. As the ESB platform reports, companies in various industries, from sportswear to health and wellness products, can increase their brand awareness through sponsorship of tennis events. The target group of tennis fans and professionals is perceived as often underestimated, which offers an excellent opportunity for targeted marketing activities.

The future of tennis in Vienna

Another important point is the future development of tennis in Vienna. The tournament director Straka has big plans and not only wants to sign Sinner, but also to arouse interest in Novak Djokovic, who could possibly play depending on its form and motivation in Vienna. Straka pursues positive developments and strives for Sebastian Ofner, Austria's number one, to reach the top 50 again. The player is planning a return to the big tour, possibly at the Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid, and needs a wildcard for the Munich tournament.

The establishment of a new event hall in Vienna, which is to be realized by 2030 and offers space for 17,000 fans, could play a crucial role in increasing the tennis interest in Austria. This new capacity would be an increase of 70 percent compared to the current hall and could therefore create a first -class experience for both players and fans.

The developments in tennis in Vienna and the ambitions of Alexander Zverev show that both sporty and social goals are closely linked.
