Swiss Open 2026 Day 1: Qualifiers Begin with Key Wins in Basel

Posted : 10 March 2026

The Swiss Open 2026, part of the BWF World Tour Super 300 tournament at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, got under way on Tuesday with the opening day of qualifying rounds and early main‑draw action as players battled for spots in the tournament proper.

Malaysian shuttler Lee Zii Jia made a strong start to his campaign, defeating Japan’s Minoru Koga convincingly in the first qualifying round to keep his hopes alive of progressing to the main draw. Zii Jia followed up his opening win with another hard‑fought victory over Denmark’s Ditlev Holm later in the day to secure his place in the main tournament bracket.

Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Anthony Sinisuka Ginting faced a tough three‑game contest in the qualifying stage before overcoming Chen Zhu Xuan of China and advancing through to the final qualifying spot. Ginting’s win came courtesy of a 16‑21, 22‑20, 21‑10 scoreline in Basel. These results set up anticipation for his participation in the main draw matches beginning later this week.

The tournament’s qualifying action kicked off against the backdrop of strong international participation, including a large contingent from Indonesia who arrived ready to compete across multiple disciplines despite a few withdrawals due to injury and other reasons before play began.

With Day 1 complete, attention now turns to Wednesday’s scheduled main‑draw clashes, where seeded players and qualifiers will battle in both singles and doubles events as the Swiss Open builds toward its final rounds later in the week.
