The Canadian wins his first title of the season and the fifth of his career
[MONTREAL, QC] October 29, 2023 — On Sunday, Félix Auger-Aliassime claimed his second title at the Swiss Indoors Basel in as many years after defeating Hubert Hurkacz of Poland 7-6(3), 7-6(5) in the final of the ATP 500-level event in Basel, Switzerland. He becomes the first Canadian to defend an ATP title since Milos Raonic won in San Jose in 2011 and 2012.
“I’ve had the conviction that I could be a top player since I’m a kid but there were many doubts this year about my performances,” said Auger-Aliassime during his on-court interview. “I’m happy that I was able to prove to everybody that I still belong among the best players in the world. I never doubted it, but it’s good to confirm it on the court.”
