The story

Swiss Indoors Basel in Basel

An ATP indoor hard-court tournament held each October at Basel's St. Jakobshalle, Swiss Indoors gained international prominence as Roger Federer's hometown event, which he won a record ten times. The tournament draws top-ranked players building points for the season's finals, with Basel's compact center and tram network making the arena easy to reach.

Swiss Indoors Basel has been part of the ATP calendar since the 1970s, and for much of the twenty-first century it carried extra weight as the hometown tournament of Roger Federer, who grew up in Basel and won the event a record ten times over his career, turning what had been a solid regional stop into one of the tour's most closely watched autumn fixtures.
