Stan Wawrinka does not want to retire so quickly. The Swiss seems to have drunk from the fountain of youth because he is having a remarkable start to the year, especially considering it is his last year as a professional tennis player. It seems that the Swiss has lifted a weight off his shoulders and wants to be as competitive as possible in his final season. After his good performance in the United Cup and the Australian Open.
Now he is doing it at ATP Montpellier 2026, where he received an invitation to play and is already in the round of 16 after defeating Hamad Medjedovic by 7-6(3), 6-4, after one hour and 41 minutes. With this victory, he ranks as number 104 in the ATP ranking, and if he manages to defeat Félix Auger-Aliassime, the number one seed, he would be on the verge of returning to the Top 100, as he would be in the 101st position.

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.
