João Phonesca vs.
Teenage phenomenon Joao Fonseca will face Jaume Munar in the semi-final of the Swiss Indoors 2025.
Fonseca began his Basel campaign with a 7-6 (6), 6-3 victory over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. He didn’t even show up on the court for his second-round match, receiving a forfeit from seventh seed Jakub Mensik. He faced ninth seed Denis Shapovalov in the quarterfinals.
Fonseca broke Shapovalov’s serve to start proceedings, but couldn’t maintain that level for the rest of the first set. The set slipped out of his hands despite his good start. He bounced back to win the second set and was leading 4-1 in the decider when his opponent opted to retire from the match, sending him to the semifinals.
Munar beat Remy Bertola 6-2, 6-4 in the first round, and followed that up with a surprise 6-3, 6-4 win over second seed Ben Shelton. He faced fifth seed Félix Auger-Aliassime, who won the European Open title last week, in the quarterfinals.
Munar matched the in-form Auger-Aliassime shot for shot, and a break of serve in the fourth game gave him the first set. The match subsequently ended due to the Canadian’s retirement, paving the way for Munar to reach the semi-finals.
Joao Fonseca vs Jaume Munar head to head

James Munar odds
(Odds via BetMGM)
João Fonesca against James.
Both players advanced to the semi-finals after their respective opponents dropped out. They are at different stages of their careers, Fonseca being the newcomer while Munar is the veteran, and yet they are having the best season of their careers so far.
Fonseca will debut in the top 40 of the ATP rankings next week thanks to his run here, while Munar will also reach a new peak and could crack the top 30 if he reaches the final. The Spaniard is 30-23 this year and has reached the fourth round of the US Open as well as a few Masters 1000 tournaments.
Fonseca won his first ATP title at the Argentine Open and reached the third round of the French Open and Wimbledon, as well as two Masters 1000 tournaments. The teenager’s forehand has been quite lethal this week, and if he continues firing on all cylinders, then he will be the favorite to reach the biggest final of his young career.
Take: Joao Fonseca will win in two sets.
