Leandro Riedi (ATP 162) lost 6-3 6-2 against defending champion Félix Auger-Aliassime (ATP 19). Too inconsistent, the 21-year-old Swiss remained far from the mark for his first at the Swiss Indoors.
Yet lacking results, the Canadian did not really tremble against Leandro Riedi unable to keep the ball within the limits of the court. Even if he has armed some magnificent points, the Zurich native is still much too “tender” to withstand the shock in a first round of an ATP 500. Even in front of an opponent who is full of doubt.
Long handicapped this spring by injuries to his left foot, Leandro Riedi risks losing around a hundred places in the rankings by the end of the year. He must in fact defend the 175 points which rewarded his victories at the Helsinki and Andria Challengers last year. In view of his match in Basel, it is difficult to see how he could score such a double again.
