India, Oct. 30 -- Carlos Alcaraz will face American seventh seed Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals of the Vienna Open 2026 on Friday, October 30. The Spaniard will look to continue his title campaign at the ATP 500 tournament, but Paul presents a difficult challenge after producing two impressive performances to reach the last eight.

Alcaraz, the second seed in Vienna, began his campaign with a 6-4, 7-6(5) victory over Russia's Karen Khachanov. He followed it up with another straight-sets win against Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili, defeating him 6-1, 7-6(11) in the second round.

The world No. 3 has a 35-5 win-loss record in the 2026 season and has won all three of his indoor hard-court matches this year.

Paul, meanwhile, has looked equal...
