The Generali Open is Kitzbühel's sports highlight of the summer. Thrilling rallies, emotional moments and a rousing atmosphere: These are the ingredients that make Austria's largest clay court tournament a unique tennis experience. Away from the courts, the traditional Bellini Cipriani Players Night at the Kempinski Hotel Das Tirol is the tournament's social highlight.

"We're looking forward to a great tournament week," said organizer Herbert Günther together with licensor Jorge Salkeld and Kempinski hotel director Gerhard Bosse, welcoming the guests to the Bellini Cipriani Players Night. The latter and his team put the finest Mediterranean cuisine on the guests' plates. So it's no wonder that the Bellini Cipriani Players Party, with its elegant setting in the official tournament partner hotel "Kempinski Hotel Das Tirol", is one of the most popular among players on the tour. A look at the guest list also proves this: Grand Slam champion Dominic Thiem, Jurij Rodionov and Sebastian Ofner, who had just made it into the round of 16, stopped by, as did the defending champions in doubles, Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler.
