Ben Shelton – Aleksandar Kovacevic

Recent form

Men’s singles first round of the 2026 ATP 500 Swiss Indoors Basel, played on indoor hard courts in Basel, in a 32-player draw. Shelton is the No. 1 seed and Kovacevic is a lucky loser.

Shelton defeated Daniel Altmaier in Shanghai on October 9, 2026 (6-3, 7-6(6)), then lost to Arthur Gea on October 11 (6-7(5), 6-7(3)). Kovacevic defeated James Duckworth in qualifying in Basel on October 24 (7-6(6), 6-3), then Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard on October 25 (6-3, 3-6, 6-3).
