SKISTAR SWEDISH OPEN: PREVIEW & 16 JULY MEDIA NOTES 10 THINGS TO WATCH IN BASTAD 1) On the Surface: The clay-court circuit resumes and grass-court swing concludes at ATP World Tour 250 events in Bastad, Umag, and Newport this week. Three-time champion David Ferrer and Top 2 seeds Diego Schwartzman and Pablo Carreno Busta lead the SkiStar Swedish Open field. 2) Pressure is a Privilege: Without a deep run in Bastad, Ferrer will fall outside the Top 50 of the ATP Rankings for the first time since 31 January 2005. Only World No. 1 Rafael Nadal and No. 2 Roger Federer have longer active streaks inside the Top 50. Ferrer is 26-7 lifetime at the SkiStar Swedish Open, where he is the defending champion and made his tournament debut 15 years ago. 3) Big Accomplishments: Schwartzman has achieved a new career-high ranking 17 times since the start of the 2017 season, peaking at No. 11 on 11 June 2018. The Roland Garros quarter-finalist is the highest-ranked player to stand 5-foot-7 or shorter since 5-foot-6 Harold Solomon was No. 10 on 27 July 1981. Schwartzman did not drop a set en route to the Rio de Janeiro title in February. 4) Goodbye, Grass: While Schwartzman earned the first grass-court win of his career at Wimbledon, Carreno Busta fell to 0-6 lifetime on the surface. The Spaniard is playing his ninth clay-court event of 2018, highlighted by the biggest win of his career over then-no. 5 Grigor Dimitrov in Barcelona. 5) Fognini on Fire: No. 1 Italian Fabio Fognini is 27-14 in 2018, highlighted by his sixth ATP World Tour title at Sao Paulo and 300th career win at ATP Masters 1000 Rome. Fognini advanced to the fourth round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, as well as the third round at Wimbledon. 6) First-Time Visitor: Frenchman Richard Gasquet is making his Bastad debut after winning his 15th title last month at s-hertogenbosch. Gasquet is a three-time ATP Masters 1000 finalist and threetime Grand Slam semi-finalist, but all 15 of his titles have come at ATP World Tour 250 events. 7) Familiar Fernando: Fernando Verdasco has reached the Bastad quarter-finals or better seven times, highlighted by runner-up finishes in 2013 and 2016. Verdasco returns on a four-match losing streak across grass-court events at s-hertogenbosch, Queen s Club, Antalya, and Wimbledon. 8) Swedish Bros: Elias Ymer, 22, will make his sixth appearance after debuting on tour at 2013 Bastad and earning his first ATP win at 2014 Bastad. Mikael Ymer, 19, is a wild card after reaching semi-finals two straight years at the Bastad Challenger that leads into the SkiStar Swedish Open. 9) Next is Now: Wild cards were also awarded to #NextGenATP players Jaume Munar of Spain and Casper Ruud of Norway. Munar broke into the Top 100 after rallying from two sets down to defeat Ferrer at Roland Garros. Ruud also won a five-setter to reach the Roland Garros second round. Munar and Ruud will face each other for the first time at Tour level in the first round on Monday. 10) Double Your Fun: Six Grand Slam champions are among the doubles participants in Bastad, including Fognini and fellow Italian Simone Bolelli. The 2015 Australian Open champions are joined by Max Mirnyi, Marc Lopez, and the team of Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner.
