Basel 500 Tournament Update: Wawrinka and Cilic Advance, Fritz to Face Shanghai Legend Vacherot

The second day of the Basel 500 tournament wrapped up, with a few first-round matches still pending. This is probably to give rest to those who played in last week’s finals.

Several first-round matches were particularly intriguing.

Auger-Aliassime won against Baez with a score of 6-3, 6-4.This match featured the tallest and shortest players currently on the ATP tour. Standing at 2.11m, Auger-Aliassime is one of the tallest on the court, while 1.70m Baez started off with less confidence. However, since his return, Auger-Aliassime has slimmed down considerably and improved his movement. With his long legs, he quickly closed in at the net in just a few strides.

Wawrinka defeated Kecmanovic 6-1, 7-6 (3)Competing in his home country has given Wawrinka renewed energy. At 40 years old, when asked again about retirement, Wawrinka candidly stated: “I will still play next year.”

Haha, he even joked about inviting Djokovic: “If Djokovic doesn’t retire, neither will I.”

Fonseca defeated big server Pericard 7-6 (6), 6-3and will face Mensik in the next round. A youthful showdown to look forward to. Fonseca skipped the entire Asian season and seems well rested.

Cilic beat Goffin 7-6 (9), 7-5to even their career head-to-head at 5-5. Both players had to go through qualifying rounds.

Shelton (2) fought hard to win a three-set match against Majchrzakand will face Munar in the next round.

Today, Rudd (4), Aliassime (5), Fritz (1), and Mensik will play consecutively against Harris, Diallo, Vacherot, and Fonseca respectively.

This is the return of Vacherot, the cousin who made a miracle at the Shanghai Masters. After his impressive performance in Shanghai, Vacherot received a wildcard. Returning from a break, his performance is highly anticipated.
