Monaco's Valentin Vacherot staged a comeback victory over Czech opponent Jiri Lehecka to win the Swiss Indoors tournament in Basel on Sunday, securing the second ATP title of his career.

The final, played at the St. Jakobshalle, saw Vacherot overcome an early deficit to claim the championship trophy. The victory marks a significant milestone for the 26-year-old Monégasque player, who previously won his maiden tour-level title at the 2024 Mallorca Championships.

Lehecka, the higher-ranked player, started strongly but could not maintain his momentum as Vacherot found his rhythm and turned the match in his favor. The Swiss Indoors, an ATP 500 event, adds valuable ranking points and prize money to Vacherot's season tally.
