Challenger Saint-Tropez: Stan Wawrinka Withdraws Before the Final, the Announcement That Hurts
After his 7th win in 8 matches (including the final in Rennes), Wawrinka sees his impressive run come to an end due to a withdrawal before the semifinals of the Saint-Tropez Challenger. Facing Frenchman Dan Added, the Swiss player will not be able to compete, as evidenced by this message posted by the organization:
"Player Stan Wawrinka has been forced to withdraw from the 2025 Saint-Tropez Open before his semifinal for medical reasons. The tournament and its entire team wish him a speedy recovery and thank him for his presence and professionalism throughout the week. Consequently, and following this withdrawal, Dan Added advances directly to the final."
Ranked 272nd in the ATP, the Frenchman (26 years old) had eliminated three compatriots in the previous rounds (Jacquet, Mayot, Paris) and will face the winner of Lajal-Echargui for the title.
