- Alex de Minaur upset incoming world No. 1 Alexander Zverev at the Vienna Open on Saturday, prevailing 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 to reach the championship final at the Wiener Stadthalle.
- Minaur played with striking intensity, uncorking 25 winners to disrupt Zverev, whose frustration became visible; the pair had met six times previously, with the German winning all encounters including at the Australian Open.
- After his serve faltered in the second set, Minaur regrouped to dominate the deciding tiebreak, surging to a 3-0 lead. "I was going to go out swinging and playing the right type of tennis," Minaur said.
- Minaur will face Carlos Alcaraz in the final on Sunday, after the Spaniard defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 7-6 in the other semifinal at the Vienna Open.
- The victory boosts Minaur's position in the Race to Turin, placing him back among the top-eight ATP Finals qualifiers; the Paris Masters next week marks the final qualifying event before the season-ending championship.
