Launch Catch-Up — Match Played October 26, 2026
Alex de Minaur came from a set down to defeat Tomas Machac in the first round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna on October 26, according to the tournament's official match report.
The fifth-seeded Australian won 1–6, 6–4, 6–3 against the Czech qualifier in the indoor hard-court event.
Machac controlled much of the opening set with aggressive groundstrokes and continued strongly early in the second. De Minaur then improved his consistency in the rallies and leveled the match.
The tournament's account says Machac again started the deciding set better before errors allowed de Minaur to take control. The Australian completed the comeback to reach the second round.
The result came on the first day of main-draw play. It is an opening-round victory, rather than a tournament title or a confirmed outcome for de Minaur's next match.
