Carlos Alcaraz vs Karen Khachanov ATP Vienna Tips, Prediction & Live Stream

Carlos Alcaraz is backed to improve to 7-0 over Karen Khachanov when the pair square off in the first round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna on Tuesday - but the Russian can keep it relatively close and there's some value on at least one tiebreak on the slick indoor courts.

Alcaraz is chasing just his second ever ATP indoors title this week and will be keen to bounce back from his shock loss to Zizou Bergs at the Shanghai Masters. The Spaniard is competing in Vienna for just the second time and should be too good for Khachanov, who hasn't been at his best for most of the season.

ATP Vienna Record: 3-1
Current Ranking: No. 3
Career-High Ranking: No. 1 (2022)

Obviously injury has had a big impact on Alcaraz's season, but he might just be fully fresh and determined for the biggest European indoor swing of his career as a result.

It's been a solid comeback from that wrist injury - Alcaraz made the US Open quarter-finals before claiming the title in Tokyo, but suffered a minor setback with a straight sets defeat to Zizou Bergs in the Shanghai Masters R32.

Only one of Alcaraz's 27 ATP titles have come indoors and zero at this stage of the year. The 23-year-old made his only and only Vienna appearance in 2021, making the semi-finals.

Karen Khachanov Form Analysis

ATP 2026 Record: 27-22
ATP Vienna Record: 12-9
Current Ranking: No. 24
Career-High Ranking No. 8 (2019)

It had been a poor season for Khachanov, but he salvaged it somewhat with a great run to the US Open semi-finals last month, keeping his ranking inside the top 30.

It was only the second time in 2026 that Khachanov had managed to win three matches in a row.

Khachanov has been more consistent lately, putting together a 11-4 run from the US Open to Almaty last week, where he reached the quarter-finals before going down in a deciding-set tiebreak to Alexander Bublik.

The 30-year-old has a strong Vienna record, highlighted by a runner-up finish in 2024 and three additional quarter-finals.
