Recent form
Likely event: 2026 Erste Bank Open in Vienna, men's singles, quarterfinals, indoor hard court. Alcaraz defeated Karen Khachanov and then Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-1, 7-6(11), in 1 h 40.
Paul defeated Andrey Rublev 7-5, 6-2 and then Luciano Darderi 6-1, 6-1, in 48 minutes. The detailed score of Alcaraz's first match is not established, so neither player's run can be described as a tournament without losing a set.
Head-to-head
The announced head-to-head record favors Carlos Alcaraz, 7-2. A recent documented meeting took place in the US Open round of 16 on September 6, 2026, but the dossier does not provide the final score.
This record supports Alcaraz's historical advantage, without precisely measuring current form on indoor hard courts or the conditions of this match.
