Read more about the spark7 Next Gen Day powered by Stadt Wien here.
Traditionally, the tournament Monday (October 21, 2024) is always dedicated to the youngest guests. An afternoon with an exciting and entertaining program awaited our youngest fans. Kids also had the chance to meet one of the stars of the tournament in person and get an autograph.
The program
The kids were able to put their skills to the test at various stations.
Stations
Art-Shot - Tennis meets color
With lots of color and even more action, we turn a tennis ball into a color bomb and a canvas into a work of art - try it out for yourself and bring color to the Stadthalle.
Serve challenge
The tennis stars on center court serve at an average speed of 200 km/h. How many km/h can you get on the display?
Mini-Court
You can let off steam on the mini court and play a match or two against others.
Selfie & autograph corner
Today you are the star. Take a photo in front of the spark7 photo back wall for your next social media post. Maybe you'll meet a professional player, watch out for signs in the hall.
Speed challenge - Aaaaaand off you go!
This is all about speed and only speed. Can you complete the parkour in a new record time?
Target shooting
With a bit of luck - or skill, of course - you can hit the three targets and take home a surprise.
Create autograph cards
Collecting autographs is cool, but it's even cooler with a self-made autograph card. You might even make the tennis players laugh with a particularly funny photo.
Photo with trophy - Next Gen Champion
Today you are the champion of the Erste Bank Open - take a photo with the official trophy, which will be presented to the winner of the Erste Bank Open 2024 at the award ceremony on Sunday.
Tennis Experience - voluntary station
Out of the Stadthalle and into the Official Tennis Experience in Studio F. A journey through the last 50 years of tennis in Vienna awaits you.
