Former top-ranked Thomas Muster is making his return to the ATP Tour at the Bank Austria Trophy, 26 years after he first played at the event. Muster will play fellow Austrian Andreas Haider-Maurer on Tuesday in his first match on the tour since losing in the first round of 1999 French Open.

The 43-year-old Muster was handed a wild card and was scheduled to play fifth-seeded Ernests Gulbis, but organizers said Monday that the 24th-ranked Latvian Gulbis had withdrawn for “personal reasons” and will be replaced by Haider-Maurer.
