Alex de Minaur Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 42-20
  • ATP Vienna Record: 7-3
  • Current Ranking: No. 8
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 5 (July 2026)

Despite hitting a career-high ranking, it's not been a great season for De Minaur and he comes into this clash with a pretty average record of 15-12 across his last 27 matches vs top 50 opponents.

However, the Aussie did pick up some much needed momentum and restore some confidence during the recent Asian swing.

De Minaur went 7-2 across Asia, making the Beijing final before being forced to retire injured against Novak Djokovic after dropping the first set in a tiebreak. De Minaur recovered in time for Shanghai, where he beat Karen Khachanov on his way to the quarter-finals, where he suffered yet another disappointing defeat to a top five player, falling 4-6 4-6 to Alexander Zverev.

The 27-year-old has played well in Vienna in the past, making the semi-finals in the last two editions, while he claimed the silverware indoors at Rotterdam earlier in the year.

Tomas Machac Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 15-15
  • ATP Vienna Record: 2-1
  • Current Ranking: No. 72
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 20 (2025)

Machac just can't seem to stay healthy for sustained periods and his ranking has dropped outside the top 70 as a result.

The Czech started the year strongly by winning his second ATP title in Adelaide, but he was erratic following that triumph, while a foot injury saw him miss almost three months after Roland Garros.

It's been a slow grind back to fitness for Machac - he lost four matches on the trot in his return to action, but he did make the second rounds at both Shanghai and Almaty, while he also qualified for the Vienna main draw.

Machac made the quarter-finals in his most-recent appearance in Vienna in 2024, falling to eventual champion Jack Draper in three sets.
