Novak Djokovic is set to return to the Erste Bank Open, which begins on 26 October, for the first time since he captured the 2007 title over Stan Wawrinka.
The World No. 1 has been awarded a wild card and will join six other Top 10 stars, Dominic Thiem (No. 3), Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 5), Daniil Medvedev (No. 6), Diego Schwartzman (No. 8), Matteo Berrettini (No. 9) and Andrey Rublev (No. 10), at the ATP 500 indoor tournament.
Djokovic, who finished runner-up to Rafael Nadal in the Roland Garros final on Sunday, has an ATP Tour-leading 37-2 match record on the season.
The Serbian star will be hoping to pick up his fifth tour-level title this year. He has already won the Australian Open (d. Thiem), the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (d. Tsitsipas), the Western & Southern Open held in New York (d. Raonic) and the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome (d. Schwartzman).
The 33-year-old, who made his debut in Vienna in 2006, has a 152-42 (.714) indoors match record, including 13 ATP Tour titles.
