It was Federer's first loss in Switzerland since 27 October 2013, when Juan Martin del Potro beat him in the Swiss Indoors Basel final.

Federer was contesting his first match since a quarter-final exit at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open and his first clay-court match since the 2019 Roland Garros semi-finals (l. to Nadal).
