Viena aguarda o sorteio do ATP 500, marcado para este sábado e ainda sem horário definido, para conhecer o caminho de Carlos Alcaraz. O espanhol, número três do mundo, será o segundo favorito do torneio; Alexander Zverev, número dois, é o cabeça de chave 1. A prévia do torneio, que é leitura de cenário e não um quadro já definido, aponta estreias perigosas para os dois.
Os primeiros nomes dessa lista são Learner Tien, jovem talento do top 20, e o americano Brandon Nakashima, finalista de Montreal. Qualquer um deles pode cruzar com o espanhol já na primeira rodada ou nas oitavas.
Francisco Cerundolo é outro nome do grupo, ao lado de dois ex-top 5: Andrey Rublev, russo, e o italiano Lorenzo Musetti. A esse conjunto se somam o saque de Karen Khachanov, russo semifinalista do US Open, e Arthur Fery, britânico que chegou à semifinal de Wimbledon.
O torneio reúne maioria de tenistas do top 50, e as cabeças de chave estão todas entre os 20 primeiros do ranking. Alcaraz entrou com convite depois do adiamento do Six Kings Slam, por causa dos bombardeios na Arábia Saudita.
Nas quartas de final, quando os favoritos passam a se cruzar, espanhol e alemão podem encontrar Tommy Paul, Jakub Mensik, Frances Tiafoe ou Alex De Minaur. Na semifinal, os nomes apontados são Flávio Cobolli, italiano, e o russo Daniil Medvedev.
Como toda prévia feita antes do sorteio, o quadro muda assim que as chaves saírem: o texto trabalha com possibilidades, não com confrontos confirmados.
