Swiss players wow the crowd and leave them hungry for more

26. Okt 2022

No fewer than four Swiss players had surprises up their sleeves on the second day of the tournament. Talented youngsters Leandro Riedi and Jerome Kym wrong-footed doubles experts Marcel Granollers und Horacio Zeballos and won their match in a champions tiebreak.

In the early evening, Dominic Stricker (ATP 129), a burgeoning talent, made his debut on Center Court in Basel, where the stunning serves of Maxime Cressy (ATP 34) didn’t stop him winning the match in two sets.

After this 20-year-old from Emmental had left the court, it was time for Stan Wawrinka (protected ranking), 17 years his senior, to return to Swiss Indoors Basel. In the draw, this three-time Grand Slam winner had ended up with a visibly challenging match against Casper Ruud (ATP 3). However, the Norwegian superstar struggled to make headway against the confident moves of this seasoned expert, with Stan Wawrinka becoming the second local player to already make it to the last sixteen.

Tennis fans are also sure to get their money’s worth on the third day of Switzerland’s biggest sports event. We’re so excited to see the power of the next generation, represented by Holger Rune (ATP 25), Lorenzo Musetti (ATP 23) and Felix Auger-Aliassime (ATP 9), who will put their skills to the test on Wednesday.
