Tennis career

2017

Hüsler made his ATP main-draw doubles debut at the Swiss Indoors tournament, where he partnered former world No 1.

2019: First Challenger singles title

On April 21, 2019 Hüsler won his first challenger title in singles by beating Adrian Menendez-Maceiras 7–5-7–6 in the final. [5]

2020: Two Challengers titles, Top 150 debut in singles

In September, partnering also with Stricker, he reached the final of the 2021 Challenger Biel/Bienne, Switzerland but withdrew. As a result he reached a new career-high doubles ranking of World No. 134 on 27 September 2021. He also reached the final in singles, where he lost to Liam Broady.

Davis Cup

Hüsler made his Davis Cup debut for Switzerland in the 2018 Davis Cup World Group tie with Kazakhstan, where he partnered Luca Margaroli in the doubles. The pair were defeated, coming back from two sets to love down, but losing the fifth set to Timur Khabibulin and Aleksandr Nedovyesov. Hüsler made his singles debut in the following rubber, which by this point was dead as Switzerland were already 3–0 down. Hüsler won in straight sets over Roman Khassanov, salvaging the only point for Switzerland in the tie.[7] He opened up Switzerland's World Group Play-off tie against Sweden, losing from two sets to love up against Markus Eriksson, as Switzerland were relegated from the World Group.
