Stan Wawrinka has taken revenge into his own hands. The Swiss not only secured the victory in five sets against Arthur Géa in the second round of the 2026 Australian Open, but also wanted to respond to a comment made by the young tennis player. Before the match, the Frenchman commented, "At 40 years old, it must be difficult to move your legs, so I will try to tire him out." However, it was Géa himself who suffered cramps from the third set onwards. Therefore, after the match, Wawrinka replied to these statements on Twitter in an ironic way, posting an emoji of an old man.

Stan Wawrinka and Arthur Géa played one of the best matches of this 2026 Australian Open, which ended with the Swiss's victory in five dramatic sets (4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(3)). The tough battle took a toll on the Frenchman, who suffered cramps starting from the third set. However, he was surprised by the Swiss player's physical condition at the age of 40: "He was ready for the match. My coaches had already warned me that he would not give up easily, especially if it was his last time playing here. I was mentally prepared for a long, five-set match. I would have preferred it to be shorter, but it was still a great match. What did surprise me was his physical condition; he seemed to be in great shape, quite unexpected," stated the Frenchman about Wawrinka, whose passion for tennis outweighs his age.
