Humbert and Auger-Aliassime Shine at Swiss Indoors Basel Tournament

Basel, Switzerland – Ugo Humbert and Felix Auger-Aliassime showcased their skills at the Swiss Indoors Basel tournament on October 23, 2025. Humbert, the 27-year-old Frenchman, defeated top seed Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4 to improve his indoor record to 10-1 this season.

Humbert’s performance was highlighted by his 22 winners compared to Fritz’s 20. He converted two of the five break points he earned, as reported by Infosys ATP Stats. This win marks Humbert’s pursuit of a second tour title in 2025, adding to his successful record on indoor courts, where he has secured a Tour-leading 21 wins since 2024.

Auger-Aliassime, a two-time Basel champion, faced Marin Cilic and won 7-6(2), 7-6(2). This victory puts him back in contention for a quarter-final spot and is crucial for his hopes to qualify for the ATP Finals in Turin. Notably, this win levels their Head2Head series at 3-3.

“Tested but through,” Auger-Aliassime commented after his match. “I’m happy to be back in the quarter-finals.” With this win, he continues his impressive indoor run after winning the ATP 250 title in Brussels just days ago.

As the ATP Live Race To Turin approaches its conclusion, Auger-Aliassime is currently positioned ninth, closely trailing behind the players above him. He is just 400 points behind the seventh place and 290 points behind the eighth place.

In contrast, fellow competitor Ben Shelton faced disappointment as he lost 6-3, 6-4 to a lower-ranked player, breaking his chance to face Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Casper Ruud secured victory against the hometown favorite and looks to cement his standing in the tournament with a semi-final spot in sight.

The excitement continues as the tournament progresses, with Humbert scheduled to face Reilly Opelka, marking their first encounter in the competition.
