Stan Wawrinka said on Thursday that the 2026 season will be his final year on the tour. The three-time Grand Slam winner also expressed hope that he would try to play his best this season. "Every book has to end," he said on social media. "2026 will be my last year on tour."
The Swiss player, who turned 41 last March, won the Australian Open in 2014, the French Open in 2015 and the US Open in 2016. His success is seen with particular importance at a time when Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are dominating the world.
Wawrinka, who has won a total of 16 ATP titles in his career, last won in Geneva in 2017. He reached the third place in the rankings in 2014. That was his highest position. Wawrinka, who struggled with injuries last year, is currently ranked 157.
He has won 582 matches in his career. He is the second longest active player in the men's singles. Only Gil Monfils is ahead of him, and he has also announced his retirement next season. He won the doubles gold medal at the 2008 Olympics.
