Carlos Alcaraz accepts Vienna ATP 500 wild card after Six Kings Slam delay
Carlos Alcaraz has accepted a wild card to play the ATP 500 tournament in Vienna, Austria.
The event runs from October 26 to November 1, before the season’s final Masters 1000 tournament in Paris.
The Six Kings Slam, which had been due to take place in Saudi Arabia next week, has been postponed until late December.
That change, along with Alcaraz’s early exit from the Shanghai Masters, led him to accept Vienna’s invitation.
He has not won the tournament, and his last appearance there was in 2021.
His first-round match is scheduled for October 27 at Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle.
