The 26-year-old Humbert (ATP 15) lost to the Brazilian qualifier Gustavo Heide (ATP 178) in three sets 7:6 (7:2), 2:6, 3:6.

A crowd favorite, however, is in the quarter-finals. Italian Matteo Berrettini (ATP 82), winner of the 2018 tournament in Gstaad and a finalist in 2022, beat Colombian Daniel Galan in two sets (6:4, 6:2).

While the top half of the table is still prominently occupied with the top-seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Italians Fabio Fognini and Berrettini and the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime, two qualifiers, Heide and the Frenchman Quentin Halys, will duel in the second quarter-final in the lower half.
