Last Year's Edition

Federer won his 6th title of 2015 with a 3-set win over Rafael Nadal, and it continued his dominance in this stunning event. He has now won the Swiss Indoors competition seven times, which is actually the record and has been in the final each year since 2006. Last year's event doubles title was claimed by Alexander Peya (Austria) and Bruno Soares (Brazil) who defeated John Peers (Australia) and Jamie Murray (Great Britain) in straight sets. It was the 2nd title of 2015 for Soares and Peya.

Legendary Winners

As one of the greatest ever tennis players, it is not surprising that Swiss national Roger Federer has had has had overwhelming dominance of the tournament. He has had a record seven victories while also reaching the finals on 12 occasions. Even though Federer may no longer be one of the best around, the 35-year-old cannot be discounted when it comes to the Swiss Indoors 2016 betting tips. Other top players who have managed to be successful at the Swiss Indoors are Juan Martín del Potro and Novak Djokovic.

Juan Martín del Potro remains the last player to have ended the dominance of Federer in consecutive seasons. He won the titles in 2012 and 2013, but tennis predictions do not expect the Argentine to be close this time around. Djokovic has been immensely successful over the last couple of years, but his last title at the Swiss Indoors came in 2009. He would actually consider being due to a Swiss Indoors title, and unsurprisingly, he will be one of the favourites according to tennis betting odds.

Switzerland may have produced the most number of victories at this tournament, but Sweden and the Czech Republic are the next most successful. In the doubles tournament, though, the tournament has been much more competitive with almost every national dominating in the last decade. Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares are the reigning defending champions going into the 2016 edition.

The Swiss Indoors is undoubtedly one of the finest tennis tournaments and there could possibly be an end to Federer’s dominance in the 47th edition.
