Wawrinka announces his first tournament of the 2026 season
At almost 41 years old, Stan Wawrinka is about to begin his 26th season on the professional circuit. Currently ranked 158th in the world, the Swiss player will participate in the Auckland tournament, which will take place from January 12 to 18, 2026.
Hoping for a wild-card for the Australian Open
The tournament takes place during the Australian Open qualifying, so he will have to hope for a wild-card if he wants to compete in the first Grand Slam of the year, which he had already received in 2025.
