Alex de Minaur is very much in the running in the Race to Turin standings, but he has his work cut out for him.
The Aussie earned much-needed points on Friday, taking out Matteo Berrettini, 7-6(4), 6-2, and he will face top-seeded Alexander Zverev on Saturday in Vienna with another 130 points on the line.
De Minaur would pass Rafael Jodar and move into eighth place in the standings if he can defeat Zverev – but the German holds a 9-4 edge in their lifetime head-to-head.
De Minaur and Taylor Fritz are still chasing points this weekend. Daniil Medvedev qualified on Friday with his win over Adrian Mannarino in Vienna, while Flavio Cobolli, Arthur Fils, Frances Tiafoe, Rafael Jodar and Novak Djokovic are all out and resting up for Paris.
Here are the current standings heading into Saturday’s action:
