The 2018 Swiss Open was the 12th Swiss Open. It was held December 10-23, 2018.

This tournament was the first Swiss Open to see an expansion to Grand Slam-level tournament formula. For the women's and men's singles, it was originally going to the last Grand Slam-level tournament to have a 32 seeding system. It would originally be replaced at the 2019 Australian Open with a 16 seeding system used prior to the 2001 Wimbledon Championships. They kept their 32 seeds for the 2019 Australian Open and beyond.

It was also known to the the farewell IndyCar World Tour tournament for Cameron Mathison and Larry Birkhead.

Seeds

Men's singles

The men's singles seedings are special: Dragalge and Electivire announced the men's singles seedings at the 2018 Luk Thung Cup in Bangkok, held the week after the 2018 Petit Le Mans. Also, during the week, Sao Sao Sao ended the winning streak of good singers of 17 (16 out of 17 in Flygon's case) in I Can See Your Voice Thailand.

Also, IndyCar eventually used the top 12 ATP ranked players on October 15, 2018 - the date of the seedings announcement for seedings 21-32, due to Mario Lopez's withdrawal. Instead, the Quizizz version is revamped to the Abomasnow special seedings from Vanilla Ice vs. Kim Fields and Ice-T and Coco Austin vs. Vivica A. Fox; the top 12 in the points excluding the 20 full-timers qualify.

It is the first time ever that qualification for men's singles seedings are neither the usual: ATP Rankings as of November 19, 2018 nor by IndyCar standings after Sonoma on September 17, 2018.

Because they used the October 15, 2018 rankings, notable players that failed to qualify were Karen Khachanov (No.26), Daniil Medvedev (No.21), and Milos Raonic (No.20). Had IndyCar used the November 19, 2018 rankings, Khachanov would have qualified and Dimitrov would have been unseeded, as he was ranked 9th on October 15 but 19th on November 19.

The 2018 men's singles Swiss Open is considered to be one of the worst finals in IndyCar history; especially that it involved Thai-South Korean actor and singer Jirayu La-ongmanee. It is because most of them incorrectly predicted this final; and everyone went for Novak Djokovic vs. Alexander Zverev.
