Roger Federer holds the record for most singles titles, having won the tournament seven times, in 2006–2008, 2010–2011 and 2014–2015. Federer has reached the final a record twelve times (2000–2001, 2006–2015), which is also an Open Era record for most finals reached at a single ATP event.

Three Swiss players have won the singles title: Michel Burgener, in 1972, Jakob Hlasek, in 1991, and Roger Federer, in 2006–2008, 2010–2011 and 2014–2015. The tournament was played on its unique red colored indoor courts until 2010; starting in 2011 the court color was changed to the uniform blue courts of most other tournaments in the European fall indoor season.

The tournament has been sponsored in the past by Ebel and Davidoff.
