Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard was embarking on a bright future, showcasing his superb tennis skills, now reaching their peak at the Basel ATP. The 21-year-old Frenchman has just won his first ATP 500 title and the second of his career after the victory in Lyon earlier this year. Moreover, Perricard faced a tough challenge in the final against Ben Shelton, but the Frenchman managed to keep his opponent at bay (6-4 7-6(4)) and conclude a fantastic week with victories over Auger-Aliassime, Shapovalov, and Rune. A remarkable journey for Perricard, who will rise to the 31st spot in the world rankings next Monday, leaving a very positive impression for 2025.

One of the main focuses of attention at the end of this season is on the battle to qualify for the ATP Finals 2024. It might seem that Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev have their spots secured as 7th and 8th, but the results in the quarterfinals of the ATP Basel 2024 have opened the door for Alex de Miñaur to snatch one of these positions from them. The Russian, who was the top seed in the Swiss city, fell in a tight match against Ben Shelton (7-5, 6-7(3), 6-4), breaking a statistic that had haunted him throughout 2024, achieving his first victory over a top-20 player all year (excluding the Laver Cup where he defeated Medvedev). On the other hand, Arthur Fils continued his winning streak in ATP 500 by convincingly defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-6(5), 6-3), forcing the Greek to win the title at Paris-Bercy if he wants to make it to Turin, something he has been doing since 2018, but seems almost impossible this season.

The crowd at the Basel ATP wanted to see their player, Stan Wawrinka, string together victories at home after defeating Adrian Mannarino in his debut. However, Ben Shelton dashed all hopes by winning 7-6(2) 7-5 to secure his ninth quarterfinal appearance this year. The American didn't have it easy either, as Wawrinka pushed himself to provide a good and entertaining match. It wasn't enough this time, but the Swiss can conclude his journey in Basel with his head held high. On the other hand, Shelton underwent a tough test and will now face Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals.

Ben Shelton is continuing a very positive end of year, supported by the fast conditions of indoor courts that greatly benefit his tennis. The American defeated Fils 6-3 7-6 (9) in a match decided by small details, where he showed a bit more aggressiveness and accuracy in his shots. He will seek his third title at the ATP 500 Basel 2024, following his victories in Tokyo and Houston. He is the first American player to reach the final in Basel since Agassi in 1998.

Ben Shelton is a bold guy both on and off the court. The American held nothing back when asked about the two tennis players he enjoys watching the most, diverging from one of the top 5 worldwide choices and showing a clear preference for variety. "I love watching Carlos Alcaraz and Grigor Dimitrov, I would say they are my two favorite players. Alcaraz is a tremendous athlete, can hit any shot, entertains the crowd, and always plays with a smile. I like watching a player with personality; it gives me the feeling that I'm enjoying someone who entertains but also competes at the highest level."

Grigor plays tennis beautifully. Much of what he is capable of is similar to what Roger did. Perfect technique, slice backhand, serve. Every shot is technically polished, that's why I love watching him", stated the straightforward American on Sky Sports microphones.

Lately, the arbitral decisions in tennis matches are increasing, and the dissatisfaction with their poor accuracy is wearing out players and spectators. This time, Tomás Etcheverry was unfairly disadvantaged in his match against Ben Shelton at the Basel ATP. An American's return in the first set appeared to bounce out just before hitting the Argentine's leg. However, the chair umpire ruled that the ball first rebounded off Etcheverry's body, ultimately awarding the point to Shelton. Despite the Argentine's protests, the referee's decision stood, proving crucial in the score as what could have been a 30-all game turned into a 15-40 with a break point for the American (who eventually won the game).

Fourteen tournaments played in 2024, fourteen tournaments in which Jannik Sinner reached, at least, the quarterfinals. The statistic is scandalous, but that's how well the Italian's compass works, always guiding him to sneak into the top eight of every event he competes in. This time the mission was to do it at the Shanghai Masters 1000, which he accomplished just minutes ago by defeating Ben Shelton 6-4, 7-6, who faltered only at critical moments in each set. Once again, the World No. 1 was imperial, relying on his expertise and a privileged mindset that turns him into a rock when the winds blow strongest. His next opponent will emerge from the ongoing match between Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

A very tough match that Roberto Carballés had to face this morning at the Shanghai Masters 1000, going up against a Ben Shelton who ended up being superior in the two sets played (6-3, 6-4). There weren't insurmountable differences, but the American showed to be slightly more comfortable in these conditions to make the difference at a couple of key moments. Therefore, the American advances to the round of 16, where this time he will have a scary opponent: Jannik Sinner. We will be closely following that match because it promises to be intense.

A day of recovery due to all the delays caused by the rain. That's what is expected to happen this Monday, October 7 at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2024, with the dispute of 13 matches, many of them from the second round. There is a forecast of intermittent precipitation, which has led the organizers to not be too ambitious in the schedule. On the Center Court, players like Taylor Fritz, Grigor Dimitrov, Stan Wawrinka were scheduled, as well as the great match of the day, which pits Matteo Berrettini against Holger Rune.
