Nick Kyrgios or Stan Wawrinka. The final wild card spot offered by the Australian Open 2026 was up in the air... and the Swiss ended up getting it, even though Nick had previously withdrawn from the singles competition due to physical issues. The Canberra native, following his initial victory in Kooyong, supported the tournament's decision and backed Stan: "Someone like Stan, who has played four very competitive matches in the United Cup at a very high level... for me, there's no doubt that he deserves it. It wouldn't be fair on my part, with so many physical doubts, to be there not knowing if I can last more than one five-set match on the court." On the other hand, Kyrgios confessed that his main goal of the season is now Wimbledon, an event somewhat "easier" physically. Will he arrive in top form?

The ATP Shanghai 2025 has announced its invitations for the upcoming edition. Just a week before its start, we already know which names will complete a dream lineup... and there is a big surprise, perhaps unexpected: the Chinese tournament has granted an invitation to Stan Wawrinka, who will travel to Asia solely for the dispute of this Masters 1000. After coming close to triumphing again at the Challenger level (lost in the final of Rennes against Hugo Gaston), 'Stanimal' returns to an ATP tournament. The other three wildcards were given to the three local stars: Wu Yibing, Zhizhen Zhang, and Juncheng Shang.

The 2025 Australian Open is just around the corner, and the tournament has already started to pick up pace. We already knew some wildcards that will be distributed for the main draw, but now the first Australian Grand Slam revealed more names like that of Stan Wawrinka. The 39-year-old Swiss will return to this great event where he lifted the trophy in 2014. They have also announced Alja Tomljanovic, Daria Saville, Emerson Jones, Maya Joint, Talia Gibson, Tristan Schoolkate, Li Tu, and James McCabe.

January 7th and we already have, perhaps, what could be one of the images of 2026. We know all too well that in lower category tournaments, like the one being played this week in Nairobi, Kenya, there may be invitations, at the very least, "questionable"... but few as lamentable as the one given to Hajar Abdelkader, an Egyptian tennis player without a ranking who barely won three points (two double faults and a glaring error by her opponent) and who didn't even know on which side of the court to stand to return. The images of the match are surreal, with Abdelkader looking like she was playing tennis for the first time in her life. How much longer?

Wimbledon 2025 has revealed almost all of the wildcards for this edition's main draw this morning. With only one final invitation left to be confirmed, in the men's competition, the British dominance continues (the third Grand Slam of the year does not have reciprocal agreements with other federations); while in the women's competition, only Petra Kvitova, former champion of the event, has received a wildcard without being a local player. Therefore, players like Stan Wawrinka, Marin Cilic, or Lois Boisson, recent Roland Garros semifinalist, will have to earn their spots from the qualifying rounds.

WILDCARDS WIMBLEDON 2025:

  1. Jay Clarke (GBR)
  2. Oliver Crawford (GBR)
  3. Daniel Evans (GBR)
  4. George Loffhagen (GBR)
  5. Johannus Monday (GBR)

As part of the reciprocity agreement that exists among three out of the four Federations that host a Grand Slam in their country, the French Tennis Federation has a wildcard available for the upcoming 2025 Australian Open. This invitation has fallen into familiar hands, those of Lucas Pouille, who experienced a complete resurgence in 2024: whenever injuries allowed him continuity, the Frenchman achieved great victories, winning titles on the Challenger circuit and narrowly missing the top-100. Perhaps he won't need it, as he is the second player on the Alternates list, but no matter what happens, he is guaranteed a place in the first Slam of the year. In the women's draw, the wildcard went to Chloé Paquet.

The 2025 Australian Open already has two players secured in the men's and women's main draw after the event called "The Australian Open Asia-Pacific Wildcard Play-off". The Australian Grand Slam offers the best players from the Asia-Pacific region a chance to win an invitation to the main draw. In this way, Shuai Zhang secured the wildcard after defeating Guo Hanyu  7-6 0-6 7-5. On the men's side, Kasidit Samrej earned his, becoming at 23 years old the first Thai man since 2012 to step into the main draw of a Grand Slam.
