Earlier, Alcaraz claimed the no. 1 spot in the ATP rankings when he won the US Open after beating Casper Ruud in the final.
World no. 1 and top seed Carlos Alcaraz will kick off his Swiss Indoors campaign this season with a first round match against Jack Draper in Basel. The Spaniard suffered a shock first round exit in Astana earlier this month when he was knocked out of the Astana Open by David Goffin. Earlier, Alcaraz claimed the no. 1 spot in the ATP rankings when he won the US Open after beating Casper Ruud in the final. The teenager has risen to immeasurable heights this year and will be confident of adding another trophy to his cabinet despite not being in much competitive tennis action this month.
Brit Jack Draper displayed a decent performance at the 2022 US Open earlier this season as he beat the likes of Emil Ruusuvuori and Felix Auger-Aliassime to reach the third round of the Grand Slam. He then had to withdraw against Karen Khachanov due to an injury concern. Draper then took part in the European Open where he was ousted in the second round by Hubert Hurkacz.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper are scheduled to take on one another in the first round of the 2022 ATP Swiss Indoors on Monday, October 24. The tournament is scheduled to be held from October 23 to October 30, 2022.
The ATP Swiss Indoors will have five rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These are the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. The competition’s main draw is set to commence on October 24, 2022 and conclude on October 30, 2022.
