Jürgen Melzer wants to know again in Vienna

First of all, honor where honor is due: The outstanding pair of couples of the year, Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic, are also at the start in Vienna, but the opening program for the two Croatians with Tim Pütz and Michael Venus is quite demanding. The German and his New Zealand partner were most recently in the semi-finals in Indian Wells.

Jürgen Melzer pulled Alexander Zverev ashore for his farewell performance in Vienna, the two of them meet Filip Polasek and John Peers - the duo that won the title a few days ago in Indian Wells. Oliver Marach and Philipp Oswald, the other two local heroes in Vienna, open against a pair of qualifiers.

At his press conference on Saturday, Zverev set the bar pretty high: He knew that it would be Jürgen Melzer's last tournament. And there you should aim for the title.

With Stefanos Tsitsipas also the number one of the singles competes in the doubles, the Greek has made an appointment with Feliciano Lopez. And with Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo, they were assigned a demanding task. Also interesting: Andreas Mies, two-time French Open champion, who lost partner Kevin Krawietz after his injury this year, is playing with Félix Auger-Aliassime. The German and the Canadian meet Neal Skupski and Dan Evans.
