Viena (Áustria) – A chave do ATP 500 da capital austríaca, um dos dois torneios de peso desta semana, junto com Basileia, traz dois dos três primeiros do ranking. Alexander Zverev chega podendo selar a liderança; Carlos Alcaraz, por sua vez, tem estreia das mais duras.
Sascha depende só de si. Duas vitórias — ou seja, alcançar as quartas de final — bastam para que ele apareça no topo da lista divulgada em 2 de novembro, data em que também saem os pontos do Masters 1000 de Paris do ano passado. De todo modo, o alemão já assegurou o encerramento da temporada na primeira colocação.
O primeiro obstáculo é o convidado espanhol Martin Landaluce, 20 anos e 67º do ranking. Depois, o caminho pode cruzar com Tallon Griekspoor, holandês que chegou à decisão em Bruxelas no fim de semana, ou com o norte-americano Brandon Nakashima.
Nas quartas, os nomes prováveis são o italiano Musetti e o norte-americano Tiafoe — eles se enfrentam logo na rodada de abertura. A metade de cima ainda reserva Flavio Cobolli x Grigor Dimitrov e Matteo Berrettini x Tomas Etcheverry. Cabeça 5, o australiano Alex de Minaur pode topar com Learner Tien na segunda fase.
No outro lado da chave, Alcaraz é o favorito natural à final, mas terá pela frente o russo Karen Khachanov logo de cara. Quem passar encara Jurij Rodionov, da Áustria, ou o georgiano Nikoloz Basilashvili, que joga a decisão em Almaty no domingo. Mais adiante, Carlitos pode topar com Tommy Paul, Andrey Rublev, Luciano Darderi ou Matteo Arnaldi.
O quadrante se completa com Daniil Medvedev (cabeça 3) e Jakub Mensik (cabeça 8), que podem se encontrar nas quartas. Antes disso, o russo encara Daniel Merida e deve medir forças com Cameron Norrie ou Francisco Cerúndolo; o tcheco estreia contra um qualifier e depois teria Ignacio Buse.
