As the lowest-ranked player in history (number 204), 26-year-old Valentin Vacherot won a tournament of the highest category after the Grand Slams in Shanghai and was the first ever player from Monaco to triumph on the ATP Tour. The reward was a leap up to 40th place in the world rankings.
He will now also be rewarded by the organizers in Basel, where he will further enhance an already top-class field. With Taylor Fritz (No. 4), Ben Shelton (6), Holger Rune (11), Casper Ruud (12) and Félix Auger-Aliassime (13), five stars from the top 15 will serve in the St. Jakobshalle. The other two wildcards have been awarded to Swiss players, three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka and the up-and-coming Henry Bernet from Basel, the junior winner of the last Australian Open.
Qualifying begins next Saturday, the main draw on Monday.
