In about four months the felt balls will whiz through the St. Jakobshalle again. The Swiss Indoors will announce three players on Tuesday afternoon who will appear in the field. These are two new stars in the tennis sky such as Félix Auger-Aliassime (22, ATP 11) and Casper Ruud (24, ATP 4) and the oldest professional in the top 100 at 38: Stan Wawrinka (ATP 78).
Last year’s winner returns to Basel with Auger-Aliassime. The 1.93 meter tall Canadian is currently struggling with form after an injury break and is building up. The situation with Ruud is completely different. As a brand new French Open finalist, the Norwegian reached the finals of the last five Grand Slam tournaments no less than three times.
Wawrinka wants to know again
This year Ruud wants to rehabilitate in Basel for last year’s early retirement. At that time he failed in the first round to Wawrinka. Whether it can withstand the rolling wave of young stars? The three-time Grand Slam winner says he feels ready for big things again after foot and knee surgery, even the five rings of the 2024 Paris Olympics flash in color in the background.
In addition to these three big names, tennis fans can look forward to even more stars. The participation of Carlos Alcaraz (20, ATP 2) and last year’s finalist Holger Rune (20, ATP 6) were already known. (ceph)
