In 2021 there is again a top 10 player in the line-up for the Generali Open Kitzbühel: Roberto Bautista Agut , who celebrated his comeback in the top ten of the tennis world rankings on Monday, will serve in Kitzbühel from July 24th to 31st - and that too, because he fell in love with the chamois town straight away last year.
The nine-time tournament winner and Davis Cup champion came to Kitzbühel for the first time for the Thiem's 7 invitation tournament last year and was not only impressed by the city and the surrounding area, the altitude also made the 33-year-old cheer. And although host Dominic Thiem stopped him in the semifinals, the former Grand Slam semifinalist said at the time: "I have to say, I fell a little in love with Kitzbühel."
Musetti and Alcaraz also at the start
In 2021 he will be coming with the whole family and will prefer the Generali Open Kitzbühel to the Olympic Games in Tokyo: "We are incredibly happy about the promise of a man who theoretically could have played for medals in Tokyo," said the two organizers, Markus Bodner and Herbert Günther. And tournament director Alexander Antonitsch says: "A top 10 man in Kitzbühel is of course great news for us and for tennis fans", to add with a smile: "I am of the opinion that every Spaniard should play in Kitzbühel at least once. I hope a Nadal knows that too ... "
