Stan Wawrinka, the 41-year-old, stated that victory at the US Open would remain one of the most beautiful moments of his life. Although success at that tournament was part of his rich career, the current situation regarding the wildcard for the season-ending event in New York is different. Wawrinka stated that he is grateful for the support, but that he understood he could not count on a wildcard for this specific tournament.
Wawrinka stated that throughout his career he had the opportunity to win titles at major tournaments, including the Australian Open in 2014. His career, marked by success, included winning the French Open in 2015. However, now, as his professional career draws to a close, Wawrinka is facing new challenges, including those related to the wildcard for the US Open.
Wawrinka stated that he understood the wildcard for the US Open was not automatically awarded, but that it was a complex process involving multiple factors. Although disappointed, he expressed gratitude for everything he had received during his career, including the support he had received from the media and the public.
Wawrinka also stated that it was important that the tennis world remembered his contributions, not only through the titles he had won, but through his contribution to the development of the sport. His career, marked by success, included winning the French Open in 2015, which made him one of the few players to have won titles at major tournaments during the era of the 'big three' (Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer).
