Joao Fonseca of Brazil will take on Denis Shapovalov of Canada in an electric quarterfinal clash at the 2025 Swiss Indoors Basel.
Fonseca opened as a -120 favorite, but the +100 underdog Shapovalov carries a 9-1 record in indoor matches in 2025.
Current Form:
Fonseca advanced to the quarterfinals without breaking a sweat after his scheduled opponent, Jakub Mensik, decided to withdraw hours before the match because of a nagging injury. Fonseca, 5-7 in indoor matches in 2025, vanquished Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 7-6, 6-3 in the first round of the 2025 Swiss Indoors Basel.
After grinding out a three-set win over Marcos Giron 6-7, 6-0, 7-6 in the first round, Shapovalov swept Valentin Royer of France 7-6, 6-2 to earn another quarterfinals stint, a week after reaching the semis at the 2025 Stockholm Open. Shapovalov is 9-1 in indoor matches in 2025.

Our Joao Fonseca vs Denis Shapovalov Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Denis Shapovalov is my pick to win this duel. I have the Canadian grinding out a 6-7, 7-5, 7-6 win over the promising Joao Fonseca. The Brazilian has shown top-notch skills in his victory over the big-serving Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, but he would have to elevate his game to another notch if he wants to get similar results against Shapovalov, who is 9-1 in indoor matches in 2025. Fonseca has the skills and bravado to match Shapovalov’s on-court intensity. However, I still think the Canadian is significantly better than him in indoor playing conditions. Shapovalov has created 16 breakpoint chances in two matches in Basel, converting half of them.
