ERSTE BANK OPEN VIENNA, AUSTRIA OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2016 TOURNAMENT TIER - 500 Prize Money: €1,884,645 TOURN. DIR. Herwig Straka Surface: Hard - Draw: S-32 D-16 LAST YEAR SINGLES CHAMPION David Ferrer (ESP) LAST YEAR DBLS CHAMPIONS L.Kubot (POL) / M.Melo (BRA) SINGLES - Murray Victory Turns Battle For No. 1 Red Hot Andy Murray turned the battle for No. 1 blazing hot on Sunday with his 6-3, 7-6(6) Erste Bank Open 500title victory against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Vienna. The Scot now trails World No. 1 Novak Djokovic by just 415 points in the Emirates ATP Race To London heading into the final week of the ATP World Tour regular season. With 1,000 points up for grabs at the BNP Paribas Masters this week, Murray could surpass the Serbian if he wins the Paris title and Djokovic does not reach the final. But Djokovic controls his fate. If he reaches the final, he'll remain No. 1. Reaching No. 1 would be a historic achievement for Murray, who, on Monday, will have spent 76 weeks altogether at the No. 2 spot in the Emirates ATP Rankings. He first reached No. 2 more than seven years ago, on 17 August 2009. The 29 year old is trying to become the oldest first-time No. 1 since John Newcombe, at 30 years of age, on 3 June 1974. Tsonga was appearing in his first ATP World Tour final since September 2015, when he won his 12thcareer crown in Metz (d. Simon). He falls to 12-11 for his career in ATP World Tour finals. He will receive 300 Emirates ATP Rankings points and €201,380 in prize money. Tsonga also still has a chance to qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, to be held 13-20 Nov. at The O2 in London. He's currently in 13th place, 720 points behind Marin Cilic, who holds the eighth and final qualification spot. Read more (ATP) DOUBLES - Kubot / Melo Repeat In Vienna Fourth seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo repeated as Erste Bank Open 500 champions on Sunday to win their second ATP World Tour team doubles title. The Polish/Brazilian pairing outlasted London hopefuls Oliver Marach and Fabrice Martin 4-6, 6-3, 13-11 in one hour and 43 minutes in Vienna. Kubot/Melo led the back-and-forth Match Tie-break 9-6 before Marach/Martin saved three match points and another at 9-10. Marach/Martin then held their own championship point at 11-10, but Kubot/Melo rattled off three consecutive points to clinch the ATP World Tour 500 crown on their fifth championship point. They will receive 500 Emirates ATP Rankings points and split €126,400. Read more (ATP)

SWISS INDOORS BASEL BASEL, SWITZERLAND OCTOBER 24 - OCTOBER 30, 2016 TOURNAMENT TIER - 500 Prize Money: €1,701,320 TOURN. DIR. Roger Brennwald Surface: Hard - Draw: S-32 D-16 LAST YEAR SINGLES CHAMPION Roger Federer (SUI) LAST YEAR DBLS CHAMPIONS A.Peya (AUT) / B.Soares (BRA) SINGLES - Cilic Roars To Basel Crown, Boosts London Bid Marin Cilic sent a strong message to fellow contenders in the Emirates ATP Race To London, powering to the Swiss Indoors Basel title on Sunday. The fourth-seeded Croatian downed Kei Nishikori 6-1, 7-6(5), riding his dominant serve and potent forehand to victory after one hour and 37 minutes. Cilic notched his 16th tour-level title and second of the year. Two months after capturing his maiden ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown in Cincinnati (d. Murray), he earned his first title at the 500 level. Cilic strengthened his position among the final two players looking to secure bids at the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, boosting his point total to 3,090 in the Emirates ATP Race To London. Currently in the final qualification position, having passed Tomas Berdych on Saturday, he will look to have a strong week at the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris to book his spot at The O2 in London for a second time. "In the second set, I was a little tight," said Nishikori. "I had a couple set points and couldn't convert. He played good tennis today. "It was a good week for me, playing another final. I had some good wins. It will be important to have another good week in Paris and again in London. That will be my last goal of the year." Read more (ATP) DOUBLES - Granollers / Sock Blast To Basel Title Fourth seeds Marcel Granollers and Jack Sock streaked to the Swiss Indoors Basel title on Sunday, lifting the trophy in their first tournament as a team. "We knew well going into the week that if we played well, we could be a dangerous team," said Sock. "We're both crafty and like playing from the baseline, but are also comfortable at the net. We served well and he returned very well. He usually carries me on the return games. We just had fun out there and kept it light and loose." The Spanish-American duo prevailed 6-3, 6-4 over Robert Lindstedt and Michael Venus in exactly one hour at the St. Jakobshalle, saving three of four break points faced. They claimed an initial break to love in the second game of the first set and another to open the second set, eventually earning the win on their first match point. Read more (ATP)

Tournament abbreviations WC = wildcard (given by the tournament to a player that could not get in on their ranking, or did not enter in time. PR = protected ranking. This is used when a player has been out for a certain period of time due to injury (I think it's at least 6 months) and their ranking slips down to where they wouldn't get in on their current ranking. Q = Qualifier. A = Alternate. Used in qualifying when a player withdraws before their first match. Also used in main draw if there was no qualifying draw and the draw was full before the player withdrew. LL = Lucky loser. A player that loses in qualifying (usually the final round unless none of the final round losers sign the lucky loser list) and gets into main draw when a main draw player withdraws before their first match. SE = Special exempt. A player who signed into qualifying of a tournament, but was still playing in the previous week's tournament at the time the qualifying draw was done. This player can get a special exempt into the main draw the following week.
