It starts at 2 p.m. on Monday in the Wiener Stadthalle. And that with a lot of firepower: Nikoloz Basilashvili, most recently a finalist in Indian Wells, meets Pablo Carreno Busta. The Spaniard is the exact opposite of his opponent, primarily stands for unshakable solidity, while Basilashvili does not shy away from any risks on the tennis court.
This is followed by the first appearance of the man Stefanos Tsitsipas said in New York that he has never seen an opponent hit harder: Carlos Alcaraz. The young Spaniard, who won the Tsitsipas-inspired “Red Bull BassLine” event on Friday in the small hall at the Vienna Ice Skating Club, will face Daniel Evans.
