SWISS INDOORS BASEL: DAY 4 MEDIA NOTES Thursday, October 29, 2015 St. Jakobshalle, Basel, Switzerland | October 26 – November 1, 2015 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: €1,575,295 | Surface: Indoor Hard ATP Info: Tournament Info: ATP PR & Marketing: www.ATPWorldTour.com www.swissindoorsbasel.ch Martin Dagahs: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @_Swiss_Indoors Fabienne Benoit: [email protected] Facebook: facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/swissindoorsbasel Press Room: +41 61 3196993 FEDERER BACK ON CENTRE COURT; GASQUET KEEPS EYE ON LONDON DAY 4 PREVIEW: Six-time champion Roger Federer meets Philipp Kohlschreiber as part of Thursday’s schedule at Swiss Indoors Basel, which features six second-round singles and three quarter-final doubles matches. Federer leads Kohlschreiber 10-0 in matches and 22-2 in sets during their FedEx Head 2 Head rivalry, and the German has also lost his last 14 matches against Top 10 opponents. Like Federer and Kohlschreiber, No. 5 seed Richard Gasquet and Dominic Thiem will both hit one-handed backhands during their match on Centre Court. Should Gasquet lose, David Ferrer and Kei Nishikori will secure the final two spots at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London Nov. 15-22. The Top 2 Americans will face off when No. 6 seed John Isner meets Jack Sock. An American man has not won a Grand Slam in over 12 years, but the Emirates ATP Rankings prove that 2015 has been a promising season for the States. Six Americans in the Top 250 are at a career-high ranking this week, and six others got there earlier this year.

Beginning the day's matches are wild card and No. 2 seed Roberto Bautista Agut, who takes on Britain's Aljaz Bedene. The No. 77 Bedene leads their head-to-head 2-1, but the last contest this season in Miami went to the World No. 17 Bautista Agut. Both men are looking to match their best result here at Winston-Salem. Following on Center Court is No. 6 seed Sam Querrey, who has reached the semi-finals here in three out of four attempts. He takes on Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, who has also had success here in the past, reaching the quarter-finals in 2014. The two have met on the courts of Wake Forest twice in their career history, in the second round in 2013 and in the quarter-finals in 2014. Both matches fell in Querrey's favor, though Garcia-Lopez pushed the American to three sets in his quarter-final loss.
