Stan Wawrinka: a former champion on farewelling Australia

from The Sit-Down · host Tennis Australia

In our first episode of 2026, Viv and Matt are joined by Stan Wawrinka for a live-recorded interview on the Grand Slam Oval fan stage. Wawrinka is embarking on his final season on tour, drawing a close to a glittering pro career of more than 20 years. That career vaulted to the next level when the Swiss star broke through for his first Grand Slam singles title at Australian Open 2014, beating Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal along the way in a famous victory. Wawrinka would go on to win Roland Garros and US Open trophies to cement himself among the legends of the game. Now 40 years old and a wildcard entry at AO 2026, Wawrinka opened up ahead of his 20th campaign at Melbourne Park about his career, his mentality, his memories, what lies ahead in 2026 – and what life might look like when he hangs up his racquets for good.
