Stan Wawrinka played his 985th and final match at the Swiss Indoors in Basel, losing in straight sets to Jiri Lehecka. The 41-year-old Swiss, who won three Grand Slam titles at the 2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open and 2016 US Open, said he had no regrets after more than 20 years in professional tennis. Wawrinka, known for his powerful backhand and ability to peak in major finals, was emotional as he received applause from his home crowd. He had previously won 16 tour titles, including one Masters 1000, and claimed Olympic gold in doubles with Roger Federer at the 2008 Beijing Games.
In 2022, Holger Rune defeated Stan Wawrinka in the first round of the Paris Masters, winning 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 after Wawrinka failed to convert three match points. After the match, Wawrinka called Rune a 'baby' and advised him to stop acting like one on court. This followed earlier criticism of Rune's on-court behaviour by Casper Ruud after their 2022 French Open match.
