Taylor Fritz will compete in Basel this week as the sixth seed and faces lucky loser Rinky Hijikata in his first hurdle. These two are meeting for the second time in their careers, and based on experience and recent performances, Fritz has the backing in our prediction.
Taylor Fritz reached the Basel quarter-finals in 2018, a massive leap from his first-round exit in his 2016 debut. However, in his subsequent appearances, he has not been able to get past the second round.
He makes his sixth appearance in this Swiss event in 2026, hoping to finally challenge for the title. The world number 13, who defeated Hijikata when they met back in 2024, is coming off a runner-up finish in Lyon.
Rinky Hijikata lost his final qualifier and had already been eliminated from the tournament. However, unexpected withdrawals have seen him receive the opportunity to extend his debut appearance in Basel as a lucky loser.
The Australian has had an inconsistent season and so far has won just four more matches than the 31 he has lost. Down to 87th in the live ranking, Hijikata has won more than one match on an indoor surface only once in the last four years.
Having compiled a 35-31 record for the season, the Australian clearly needs a lot to be able to mount a challenge for his first title.
