Days go by, and inevitably, the retirement of Stan Wawrinka is getting closer. The Swiss, who will hang up his racket at the end of this year, is currently at Wimbledon, where he will play in the main draw thanks to the wildcard from the only Grand Slam he hasn't won. Throughout this year, he has been asked countless times about which would be his last professional tennis tournament, and everything seems to point to it being at home, meaning at the ATP Basel.
Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Gael Monfils will be present at Stan Wawrinka's farewell
The Swiss tournament will take place from October 24th to November 1st. However, that will not be the place where Stan Wawrinka hangs up his racket. In practical terms, it will be his last ATP tournament. Still, the Swiss has prepared a grand 'farewell party' in Geneva, specifically on December 19th, with some luxury guests: Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Gael Monfils.
Three-time Grand Slam winner confirmed this in a video posted on social media: "Hello everyone, as you know, 2026 is my last year. After over 20 years on the circuit, it's time to close this chapter. I've been fortunate during all these years to experience so many emotions thanks to tennis, but above all, thanks to you. Before I go, I wanted to organize one last evening to thank you and bid farewell. For that night, I am lucky to have my friends with whom I have experienced so many wonderful things over the years. Andy Murray, Gaël Monfils, and Roger Federer will be there. I wanted to organize something truly special to enjoy one last time with you all. So, see you on December 19, 2026, at Pal’Expo Geneva."

In fact, it could also be Monfils' last match as a professional tennis player. In his case, he has not yet decided on which tournament he plans to retire. However, after Roland Garros, he mentioned his roadmap for the coming months. All signs point to the Paris Masters 1000 as the place where 'Le Monf' will end his official career, but like the Swiss, his final appearance will be in Geneva. Additionally, it will be a unique opportunity to see two tennis legends back on the court: Roger Federer and Andy Murray.
