Basel 2025 Day 5: Men’s singles predictions ft Reilly Opelka vs Ugo Humbert, Casper Ruud vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina | Swiss Indoors

Players will fight for a spot in the semifinals on Day 5 (Friday, October 24) of the Swiss Indoors 2025 in Basel. Notably, Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton, the top two seeds, failed to advance to the quarterfinals, both exiting in the second round.

Casper Ruud and Felix Auger-Aliassime, who recently claimed titles in Stockholm and Brussels respectively, remain in the draw. Based on their current form, they are the favorites to go all the way in the tournament.

With a series of exciting quarterfinal contests set to unfold, here are the predictions for all the singles matches scheduled for Day 5 of the Swiss Indoors 2025:

### 1. Casper Ruud vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

Ruud began his Swiss Indoors campaign strongly with a 6-1, 7-6(3) win over Quentin Halys. He then took on three-time Major champion Stan Wawrinka in the second round, securing a 6-4, 7-6(5) victory. This extended his unbeaten run to six matches, having won the Stockholm Open just before arriving in Basel.

Davidovich Fokina moved past Lorenzo Sonego in straight sets in his opener and rallied from a set down to beat Jenson Brooksby in the second round. This marked his 40th win of the season, the highest number of wins he has achieved in a single year.

Ruud and Davidovich Fokina share a competitive rivalry. Out of their previous five matches, all but one have gone the full distance. Ruud leads their head-to-head 3-2 and won their most recent meeting at the 2024 French Open in five sets.

Given Ruud’s current form, the Norwegian is favored to best his rival once again.

**Predicted winner:** Casper Ruud in three sets.

### 2. Reilly Opelka vs Ugo Humbert

Opelka battled through the qualifying rounds of the Swiss Indoors before easing past Sebastian Baez in the first round. He then earned a hard-fought three-set win over lucky loser Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round. Notably, he had already beaten van de Zandschulp in the qualifiers.

On the other hand, Humbert defeated Sebastian Korda 6-3, 6-4 in the opening round. He followed that with a stunning upset over top seed Taylor Fritz, winning 6-3, 6-4. The Frenchman thrives on indoor courts, having recently lost to Ruud in the Stockholm final and claimed the title earlier this season in Marseille.

Given his comfort on indoor surfaces and recent form, Humbert is favored to continue his impressive run and knock out another American from this tournament.

**Predicted winner:** Ugo Humbert in straight sets.

### 3. Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Jaume Munar

Felix Auger-Aliassime, fresh off his Brussels title, is expected to continue his strong form.

**Predicted winner:** Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets.

### 4. Denis Shapovalov vs Joao Fonseca

Denis Shapovalov will look to leverage his experience and skill to advance further in the tournament.

**Predicted winner:** Denis Shapovalov in three sets.

Stay tuned as the Swiss Indoors 2025 quarterfinals promise high-quality tennis and intense battles on Day 5.

Basel 2025 Day 2: Men’s singles predictions ft. Ben Shelton vs Kamil Majchrzak, Reilly Opelka vs Sebastian Baez | Swiss Indoors

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.
