Federer Confirms He Will Play Basel

Roger Federer will seek an 11th title at the Swiss Indoors Basel this year, with the five-time ATP year-end No. 1 confirming on Tuesday that he will play at the ATP 500 event to be held from 24-30 October.

“Looking forward to playing back home,” wrote Federer via an Instagram story. The 40-year-old has won the past three editions of the tournament in his homeland, which was last held in 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Federer has a outstanding overall record in Basel. He has lifted the trophy there 10 times and possesses a 75-9 match record at the event.
