Epic, historic, unforgettable. That's the only way to define what Stan Wawrinka has achieved in this 2026 Australian Open, clinching a victory in his last appearance in Melbourne and joining the exclusive club of players who have won a Grand Slam after turning 40.

Desolate and without an explanation for what happened. That's how Félix Auger-Aliassime appeared in a press conference after having to withdraw from the 2026 Australian Open due to severe cramps. "I started having them at the end of the second set. I thought they would pass, but with each movement I made, they hit me, even when serving, in the hamstrings and calves of both legs. On the flight back home, I will have many questions to ask myself and decisions to make to prevent this from happening again. I will review my diet, my hydration habits... I don't know. I can't stop thinking about it right now. I have overcome difficult situations in my career, but this is a great disappointment," the Canadian concluded.

Félix Auger-Aliassime has fallen in the first round of the 2026 Australian Open, creating an opportunity window for some players, who see how that section of the draw opens up to possible surprises. Nuno Borges is the immediate beneficiary as he moves into the second round and has the chance to continue, facing Jordan Thompson in what promises to be a very even match. Looking ahead to potential opponents, Learner Tien and Daniil Medvedev can be satisfied to see how their main rival to reach the round of 16 and quarterfinals has been defeated. Alexander Zverev also benefits from this unexpected exit of the Canadian as Auger-Aliassime was his potential quarterfinal opponent.

Quality and spectacle. Those are the two words that define the performance of Stan Wawrinka at the 2026 Australian Open. The Swiss player, ranked 139th in the world, showcased a high level of tennis, with spectacular passing shots and his one-handed backhand, to defeat Laslo Djere with a score of 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, and 7-6(4) in 3 hours and 23 minutes of play. Stan continues his adventure in Melbourne awaiting the winner between Lehecka and Gea in the second round.

Carlos Alcaraz recalled during an interview how that first clash with Jannik Sinner a few years ago in Villena went: "I remember when I found out I was facing Jannik. He had just won several Futures in a row. The match was full of ups and downs. We have the same styles as back then, but now elevated by 10 levels. Over the years, we have been developing our styles."
