Wstępne zgłoszenia - Basel:

Roger Federer (SUI)

To było tylko kwestią czasu

Chłopoki widać nie chcą, żeby Fed wygrał drugi turniej w sezonie.

Roddick chce wrócić na pozycję nr 1 po triumfie w Basel xDDDDD

Hehe, rzeczywiscie spore zaskoczenie. Juz duzo predzej bym stawial ze zagra w Valencii. Pierwszy raz od dawna zdarza sie zeby Roddick wkroczyl do turnieju nizszej kategorii niz Masters, gdzie gralby rowniez Federer. Ostatnio tak zdarzylo sie chyba w 2008 roku w Dubaju. Efekt pamietamy, takze mozemy byc dobrej mysli

Davidoff wycofuje się ze sponsorowania turnieju w Basel.

Swiss Indoors forced to drop tobacco sponsor

One of world sport's last tobacco sponsorships is ending, at the Swiss Indoors tennis event in Roger Federer's hometown Basel.
Tournament organizers say the 2010 event in November is the last of a 17-year partnership with tobacco brand Davidoff.

Swiss Indoors said in a statement that the ATP World Tour told the tournament in June the existing sponsorship could not be extended because of worldwide laws restricting tobacco advertising on television.

The tournament was promoted in status last year to an ATP 500 event, giving the tour central control over television rights.

The 2009 Swiss Indoors was therefore broadcast in 150 countries and had a six-fold increase in ratings, although the sponsor's name was dropped during transmissions.

Jubilee fever at the Davidoff Swiss Indoors Basel

The eyes of the tennis world turn to Basel

In the ephemeral world of sport, monumental events like the Davidoff Swiss Indoors Basel are a rarity and an expression of quality. One year on from its inclusion in the premium class of the ATP World Tour 500 events, the world’s third largest indoor tournament is celebrating its 40th jubilee with an outstanding show, which will have tennis fans all over the world looking forward to Basel with great anticipation. This year’s field will be headed by the sublime Roger Federer (ATP 1), the Serbian title holder Novak Djokovic (ATP 2) and America’s great comeback-king Andy Roddick (ATP 7), three absolute superstars.


Federer seeking yet another record in Basel

One notable feature of the 40 years of world class tennis played in Basel (1970 to 2010) is the fact that every Number 1 in the world has written a page in tennis history in Basel. ‘Basel - the Name of the Game’ is an expression commonly heard on the tennis circuit. The 16-time Grand-Slam winner Roger Federer continues to make a considerable contribution towards holding the tournament’s leading position in its competition against the world’s great cities. The Swiss sportsman of the century is aiming for yet another record, as he attempts to become the first professional in the Open era to win in Basel for the fourth time.


Djokovic – a Joker in a class of his own

Novak Djokovic, also known as the ‘Joker’, has been occupying the second place, for the first time, in the ranking since the beginning of February. As a result we may this autumn have a rerun of last year’s dream final between the world’s numbers 1 and 2. This year the Serbian player has already won the title in Dubai on a hard court surface. A significant exploit in one of the majors would allow the right-hander to muscle into the battle for the top spot at any time as the season progresses. His coup of last year in beating Federer in front of his home crowd greatly boosted Djokovic’s self-confidence as he put the brakes on the Federer Express over three sets.


Roddick – back again after a seven-year break

After a break of seven years, the public will be treated to another chance to see America’s mature comeback-king Andy Roddick. The ace-machine with his cannonball service will be making his appearance under his new coach, Larry Stefanki, eight kilos lighter and correspondingly more successful, after treating himself to a physical course of fresh cell therapy. In Indian Wells Roddick stormed his way into the final, and then went on to take the title two weeks later in Miami at the Players Championships in Florida. The American has fond memories of Basel where he lost to a certain Roger Federer at the quarter-final stage in both 2001 and 2002. In 2003 the Texas star progressed to the semi finals, before being eliminated by the Argentinian David Nalbandian.


Super Monday with Roger Federer and opera star Paul Potts

The main tournament’s opening day will be heralded with trumpets and drums. Super Monday in the St. Jakobshalle has become something of a tradition, with sporting skills and musical artistry coming together to create an exclusive mix in the course of the festive opening ceremony. On 1 November 2010 (All Saints’ Day), top seed Roger Federer will be missing out on his day off and begin his stint at 6.30 p.m. Before that, at 5.30 p.m., the arena will resound to opera music. The new Welsh Pavarotti is coming over from Britain; the public will be entranced by the magical voice of Paul Potts with his world-famous Puccini arias, amongst other things. The special guest will be accompanied by more than 100 participants from the operatic choir of Theater Basel, the city’s municipal theatre, and the Basel Festival Orchestra.


Switzerland’s first tennis cinema

In their role as a national sporting and social highlight, the Davidoff Swiss Indoors Basel makes every effort to offer its public the best possible services, for example in the Experience World Foyer with its 70 stands, and a varied range of culinary offerings. An extra element of entertainment and emotion is provided by the Manor Cinema in the entrance area of the foyer. Thanks to SF / Schweizer Fernsehen (Swiss Television) there will be an upbeat review in picture and sound recalling the highlights and milestones of the 40 years of Basel’s tennis history. This journey back through time lasts 11 minutes and is free of charge for all visitors.
