It is his seventh qualification in eight years.

Those four spots are occupied by Flavio Cobolli (3,690), Arthur Fils (3,535), Francis Tiafoe (3,430) and Rafael Jodar (3,209), and none of them are yet to play this week. Behind them, Alex de Minaur can take 9th place from Jodar, reaching the final in Vienna.
