Last Sunday saw Nikoloz Basilashvili lose to Daniil Medvedev in the Almaty Open final. He will hope for another good run in the indoor hard court Erste Bank Open tournament in Vienna. Round one sees him face wild card Jurij Rodionov who has lost three of his last four matches in singles tournaments. Our prediction here is Basilashvili wins.

Round two will see the winner take on either unseeded Karen Khachanov or second seed Carlos Alcaraz.

Nikoloz Basilashvili is in the main draw as a special entry. He won six matches in Almaty last week before being beaten in the first final he'd reached since 2022. Late September also saw him get to the last four in Chengdu. He's won 13 of his last 16 matches, one lost by retirement.

The one previous match between these two players was won by Rodionov, but that was on clay.

Jurij Rodionov is 95th in the latest rankings, 42 places below his opponent. He has never been ranked higher than 87th.

He has won nine of his 15 indoor hard court matches played in 2026, but all of his wins have come on the Challenger Tour.

On the main ATP Tour, he played in Lyon last week, losing to Pierre-Hugues Herbert in three sets, losing the decider 6-0.
