Pablo Carreno Busta and Dominic Stricker will take on one another in the second round of the 2022 ATP Swiss Indoors on October 26.
Pablo Carreno Busta got off to a flying start in Basel, crushing Sebastian Baez 6-2 6-1. It was a big win for Busta, who had a fantastic week in Napoli, reaching the quarter-finals but losing to Miomir Kecmanovic. He had just lost to Arthur Rinderknech in his hometown of Gijon a week before, and it was a painful defeat. Despite those defeats, Busta has had a very successful year, winning his first ATP 1000 title and posting a 34-22 record. He’s always been solid indoors but never spectacular, and his dominant victory reflected more on Baez than him. He will face a difficult challenge against a native player who will have the support of the crowd and a plethora of weapons.
Dominic Stricker is one of the brighter talents to emerge from Switzerland in recent years, and he did not disappoint his fellow countrymen in his round-one matchup with Cressy. A great victory over a player who is capable of playing some very good tennis. Overall, he had a very good year, going 34-23, and he made some good strides toward his goal of breaking into the top 100. He could get it by the end of the year if he can beat one of the best players in the world, Carreno Busta. He’ll undoubtedly pose a far greater challenge than Cressy because he’s a far more complete player with multiple ways to attack Stricker.
Pablo Carreno Busta and Dominic Stricker are scheduled to take on one another in the second round of the 2022 ATP Swiss Indoors on Wednesday, October 26. The tournament is scheduled to be held from October 23 to October 30, 2022.
