Stan Wawrinka continues to add new achievements in this phase of his career. The 39-year-old Swiss player remains confident that he can reach a high level of tennis on the court, despite facing some tough challenges over the past few months. His latest success came at the 2024 ATP Stockholm, where he now has three victories, the most recent over Andrey Rublev, the top seed at the European tournament.

Undoubtedly, this season so far has not been easy for Wawrinka, who struggled to string together more than one victory. Until this Stockholm tournament, where he not only managed to beat Rublev but also achieved his first victory over a Top 10 player in over a year. Many had lost faith in Stan becoming a contender on the tour again, the majority, except Wawrinka himself, who has made it clear that he intends to fight until the end without ever losing his passion for tennis.

"The key was to remain focused and positive within myself. Andrey (Rublev) is an incredible player, but I felt good on the court, moving well. I was able to start imposing myself a bit, and with so much support from the crowd, it's easier to battle on the court," stated the 39-year-old Swiss player after defeating his Russian opponent in Stockholm, advancing to the event's semifinals and becoming the third oldest player in ATP history to reach a semifinal.

His fighting spirit remains strong

"I can't change my age, but the most important thing for me is that when I step onto the court, I always try to fight," explained Wawrinka in remarks to the official ATP page. "I try to improve and enjoy what I do. The reason I keep going is to play matches like this, with so many people giving me good energy on the court, and I'm super happy to have the opportunity to play another match tomorrow." His opponent in the semifinals will be the American Tommy Paul.
