The ATP 500 tournament in Basel, scheduled from October 18 to 26, 2025, has unveiled its player list for the 54th edition.

Headlining the event, Taylor Fritz, currently world No. 5, will lead the way as the No. 1 seed. Hot on his heels, Ben Shelton, last year's runner-up in Basel, is ready to seek revenge. He will be closely followed by Holger Rune (No. 3 seed), whose rollercoaster season adds a touch of unpredictability.

But attention is also focused on a well-known name among the public: Félix Auger-Aliassime. The Canadian, who has made a comeback to the forefront with a semifinal run at the US Open, will be hoping to shine in Switzerland.

Nevertheless, the biggest question mark of the tournament concerns the participation, or lack thereof, of certain French players. While several are on the entry list (Alexandre Muller, Ugo Humbert, Arthur Fils), the name that captures all the attention remains that of the defending champion, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

But while his participation is confirmed, the same cannot be said for the native of Bondoufle (Arthur Fils). Having withdrawn from a series of tournaments since Toronto in August, his physical condition is a concern just weeks before the tournament. This uncertainty could shake up the French hierarchy in Basel.
