Auger-Aliassime defends Basel title

BASEL: Despite entering the week with a 17-18 tour-level record this season, the Canadian successfully defended his Swiss Indoors Basel title with a 7-6(3), 7-6(5) win against Hubert Hurkacz on Sunday in the ATP 500 final.

Auger-Aliassime had made just one semi-final in 2023, and that came in February in Doha. But the 23-year-old, who has struggled with injury, grew in confidence throughout an impressive week in Switzerland, where he lost only one set en route to the trophy. Auger-Aliassime lost the first eight ATP Tour finals of his career, but he has now won five of his past six championship clashes.
