Andy Murray Joins Tie Break Tens Vienna Field That Includes Tommy Haas

The Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has joined the field for the second Tie Break Tens event in Vienna, Sunday October 23rd.

The World No.2, who won the China Open in Beijing yesterday, will take on Dominic Thiem, Jo Wilfried Tsonga, Tommy Haas and Goran Ivanisevic over a quick-fire series of ten-point match tie-breaks with a winner-takes-all prize of $250,000.

At the inaugural event at the Royal Albert Hall in London last December, Murray reached the final. He was beaten to the title by compatriot Kyle Edmund.

“I’m looking forward to playing Tie Break Tens again,” said Murray. “It was great last time – quick, exciting matches, and the field of players in Vienna is really strong. It should be a lot of fun.”

The six-man field will be drawn into two groups of three players, with each match contested over a first-to-ten point tie-break. The top two players in each group will go through to the semifinals, and then the final.

The event will be staged at 7pm on qualifying Sunday at the Erste Bank Open 500 at the Wiener Stadthalle. There is still one more player to be announced.
