Stan Wawrinka spoke on the court after securing an epic victory at the 2026 Australian Open that takes him to the third round. In over four hours of play, the Swiss player summoned strength from his inner reserves to prevail and didn't hide his excitement. "I'm not young, so I need all the energy this crowd gives me. It's my last time here, and I want it to last as long as possible. I don't know how I'm going to recover from this, honestly. Maybe I'll try to drink some beer, as some fans did today," he said with a laugh.
