Wawrinka will kick off his 26th professional season in Auckland
It's been a while since Stan Wawrinka stepped off the main stage of the ATP circuit, but the Swiss is determined to continue squeezing this journey that started back in 2002. Just a few months away from turning 41, the man with the best one-handed backhand of modern times has already begun to plan out his 2026 calendar, representing his 26th season as a racket professional. He will kick off the journey at the ATP 250 in Auckland, ensuring that we will see him in some tournaments on Australian soil. Currently outside the top 150 in the rankings, the Swiss knows that the results of this season will be decisive in determining what to do with his career.
