Stan Wawrinka wants to go out fighting. The Swiss player is displaying exceptional tennis in his final year as a professional. While 2025 was a forgettable year, this current season has seen the return of Stan's delightful style of play. However, his physical condition and game have their limitations, as evident in his round of 16 match at ATP Rotterdam 2026 against Alex de Miñaur. The first set was a real battle, with Wawrinka having a break point to close out the set on his serve, but he missed the opportunity, allowing the Australian to take control as Wawrinka's physical stamina dwindled. Consequently, De Miñaur secured the victory with a scoreline of 6-4, 6-2, after an hour and 11 minutes, and will now face Botic Van de Zandschulp in the quarterfinals.
