Stan Wawrinka and Arthur Géa signed one of the best matches of this Open de Australia 2026 which ended with the victory of the Swiss 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 from the third set onwards. However, he was surprised by the physical condition of the Swiss at 40 years old: "He was prepared for the match. My coaches had warned me that he wouldn't give up easily, especially if it was the last time he played here. I was mentally ready for a long five-set match. I would have preferred it to be shorter, but still, it was a great encounter. What did surprise me was his physical condition; he seemed to be in very good shape, quite unexpected," the Frenchman remarked about Wawrinka, whose passion for tennis outweighs his age.
