Every day that passes brings Stan Wawrinka one step closer to hanging up his racket. The Swiss is in his final year as a professional tennis player, and in every tournament he has played, he has received a farewell fit for a legend who has won three Grand Slams. However, this latest farewell, which took place at the ATP Estoril, holds a special significance as it marked his final match on clay.

On this surface, Wawrinka created one of his biggest surprises by winning Roland Garros in 2015, defeating Roger Federer in the quarterfinals and Novak Djokovic in the final. Nevertheless, that wasn't his only triumph on clay, as his list of achievements also includes six more titles: Umag 2006, Casablanca 2010, Oeiras 2013 (current ATP Estoril), Monte Carlo 2014, Geneva 2016 and 2017.

Stan Wawrinka bid farewell to clay courts by battling against Román Andrés Burruchaga.

And in his last match on clay, as always, he fought until the end. Although he couldn't secure the victory, he pushed for a third set against Román Andrés Burruchaga, but it wasn't enough to turn the score around. The 2013 tournament champion bid adieu with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.

Yet the result was of little importance because the tribute that followed touched all attendees, presenting him with a frame of his shoe print on the clay, reminiscent of Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros. Finally, he stepped off the Central Court through a corridor formed by ball boys.

Stan Wawrinka now faces the final phase of the season and his tennis career. The North American hard court tour, Asian tour, and European indoor season will mark his last moments on the ATP circuit after over 20 years.
