Rémy Bertola

Bertola grew up in Lugano idolising Federer, and when Wawrinka retired in October 2026 he was one of the few Swiss men on the pro tour with a one-hander. He came up through Futures and Challengers, made his ATP main-draw debut at the 2025 Swiss Indoors in Basel, and played qualifying at Roland-Garros and the US Open in 2026. Standing 5ft 9in, he reached a career high of 174 in August 2026.
