Erste Bank Open 2025 Finals Schedule of Play
The final day of the Erste Bank Open 2025, a premier ATP 500 tournament, is set to deliver a blockbuster Singles Final between the top two seeds, Jannik Sinner (ITA) [1] and Alexander Zverev (GER) [2]. Held on the indoor hard courts of the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, the tournament climaxes on Sunday, October 26, 2025, with the singles trophy and a winner’s cheque of over €511,000 at stake.
The final Order of Play was officially released on Saturday at 6:50 PM local time. The Singles Final is scheduled for Not Before 14:00 (2:00 PM) Central European Summer Time (CEST), following the Doubles Final.
The Singles Final: Sinner [1] vs. Zverev [2]
The championship match is a highly anticipated clash between two of the game’s elite, serving as a rematch of the dramatic 2025 Australian Open Final. Both players are former champions at this event, with Sinner lifting the trophy in 2023 and Zverev claiming the title in 2021.
Head-to-Head & Momentum
The career head-to-head record between the two rivals stands narrowly in favor of Zverev at 4-3. However, the recent momentum is firmly with the Italian world No. 2. Sinner has won their last two encounters, including a hard-fought victory over Zverev in the 2025 Australian Open final.
Sinner has been in imperious form this week in Vienna, advancing to his eighth final of the 2025 season with four consecutive straight-set victories. The top seed has also maintained an impressive 20-match winning streak on indoor courts, establishing him as the favorite to capture his fourth title of the season.
Conversely, the German No. 2 seed Zverev has had a more challenging path, struggling through a tough three-set opener before improving his form in the later rounds. Zverev’s primary weapon—his powerful serve—will be crucial, but he faces an uphill battle against Sinner’s consistent baseline aggression and returning prowess. Experts are predicting a hard-fought match, though leaning toward Sinner winning in straight sets.
The Doubles Final: An All-European Affair
The day’s action starts at 11:30 AM CEST with the Doubles Final.
The unseeded team of Francisco Cabral (POR) and Lucas Miedler (AUT) will take on the second-seeded British pairing of Julian Cash (GBR) and Lloyd Glasspool (GBR). Miedler, an Austrian native, will be playing in front of his home crowd, adding a special atmosphere to the match. The two teams enter the final with a clean 0-0 career head-to-head record, guaranteeing a fresh rivalry on the championship stage.
