2025 Swiss Indoors Basel Entry List, Prize Money, Points, Dates: Fritz, Shelton, Rune headline
Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Pete Sampras, Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe all feature on the star-studded list of past Swiss Indoors champions, but who will feature at the 2025 event?
This year’s edition of the indoor hard-court ATP 500 tournament, which is staged at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, will be held from October 20 to 26. It will be the 54th edition of the event, which was founded in 1970.
Eight players in the top 20 of the ATP Rankings are set to compete at the Swiss Indoors: Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Holger Rune, Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Jiri Lehecka, Jakub Mensik and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is the reigning champion, having beaten Shelton in the 2024 final, and the Frenchman is set to be unseeded for his title defence.
How many players will feature in the main draw?
The Swiss Indoors singles main draw will feature 32 players and be played over five rounds. There will be eight seeded players, and no first round byes.
There will be four qualifiers and four wildcards (one of which is an A+ wildcard usually reserved for a late entry), while there is one special exempt spot available if a player who is not set to feature in Basel makes a deep run at an ATP tournament this week (Stockholm, Brussels or Almaty).
Which players have received wildcards?
Two of the wildcard recipients have been confirmed, and they are both Swiss: Stan Wawrinka and Henry Bernet.
Wawrinka is a legend of Swiss tennis, having won three Grand Slam titles and reached a career-high ranking of world No 3.
Bernet is an 18-year-old rising star currently ranked 479th in the world, and this will be his debut in Basel.
How much prize money is on offer?
The total prize money for the 2025 Swiss Indoors is €2,523,045 ($2,915,972.27), which is up from €2,385,100 in 2024.
Champion: €471,825

Have any players withdrawn?
