Roger Federer, Marin Cilic and John Isner play at the ATP 500 Basel
Thursday 29 October 2015 16:24, UK
Roger Federer continues his ATP 500 Basel campaign on Thursday afternoon against Philipp Kohlschreiber, live on Sky Sports.
The Swiss great furthers his defence of the tournament that he won last year a day after top contender Rafael Nadal successfully maintained his pursuit of the title.
You can watch the ATP 500 Basel on Thursday from 1pm, live on Sky Sports 3 HD.
Federer will be top of the bill as he heads towards a seventh championship in his homeland.
His second-round opponent, Germany's Kohlschreiber, could be forgiven for fearing his latest test. In 10 previous meetings, the imperious Federer has won every time.
Marin Cilic, an outsider for the Basel crown as the seventh seed, kicks off the afternoon's play.
The 2014 US Open winner will meet Teymuraz Gabashvili - the Russian who owns a shock win over Andy Murray this season - with the winner set to face Nadal.
John Isner, the sixth seed, faces Jack Sock in a heavy-hitting all-American contest before fifth seed Richard Gasquet takes on Dominic Thiem.
Big-serving duo Kevin Anderson and Ivo Karlovic end Thursday by playing Donald Young and Dusan Lajovic, respectively.
