Day 2 (Tuesday, October 21) of the Swiss Indoors 2025 in Basel will see the continuation of the first-round matches. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Jenson Brooksby, and Jaume Munar were among the winners on the first day of the tournament, all securing their victories in straight sets. Jakub Mensik, on the other hand, was pushed to three sets by home hope Henry Bernet but managed to prevail in the end.
As the tournament progresses, more players will now aim to join them in the second round on Tuesday. On that note, here are the predictions for all the matches set for Day 2 of the Swiss Indoors 2025:
### 1. Ben Shelton vs Kamil Majchrzak
Shelton has had a pretty good season until he sustained an injury at the US Open, forcing him to retire from his third-round contest. Prior to that, he claimed his maiden Masters 1000 title at the Canadian Open. However, he left the Shanghai Masters without a win upon his return to the tour. Shelton holds a 37-19 record this year.
Majchrzak has compiled a 15-11 record for the season so far. He was in action at last week’s Stockholm Open, where he lost to Sebastian Korda in three sets in the second round. This will be the first career meeting between Shelton and Majchrzak.
Shelton was the runner-up at last year’s Swiss Indoors, losing to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the final. A lot will depend on how he’s feeling following his injury. If he’s back to his best physically, he should make it through this clash without much trouble.
**Predicted winner:** Ben Shelton to win in straight sets.
### 2. Reilly Opelka vs Sebastian Baez
Opelka came through the qualifying rounds to secure his spot in the Swiss Indoors main draw. He has compiled a 23-21 record for the season, although he has lost his last five matches at the main draw level. Notably, he made the semifinals in his only prior appearance in Basel back in 2019.
Baez has been struggling recently as well, having lost five of his last six matches. He holds a 17-22 record this year, with only three wins on hardcourts. Furthermore, he has won just one match in his three previous appearances at the Swiss Indoors.
Considering Baez’s poor record at this venue and on hardcourts this year, Opelka will be favored to win despite his own recent difficulties.
**Predicted winner:** Reilly Opelka to win in straight sets.
### 3. Marin Cilic vs David Goffin
**Predicted winner:** Marin Cilic to win in straight sets.
### 4. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Joao Fonseca
**Predicted winner:** Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard to win in three sets.
### 5. Arthur Rinderknech vs Raphael Collignon
**Predicted winner:** Arthur Rinderknech to win in straight sets.
### 6. Stan Wawrinka vs Miomir Kecmanovic
**Predicted winner:** Miomir Kecmanovic to win in three sets.
### 7. Denis Shapovalov vs Marcos Giron
**Predicted winner:** Denis Shapovalov to win in straight sets.
Stay tuned for updates as these matches unfold and the tournament progresses.
