Stan Wawrinka will play his final EFG Swiss Open Gstaad tournament, with his singles match scheduled for Tuesday 14 July. It will be a moving tribute to a Swiss tennis legend.
Some stories transcend the world of sport. In Gstaad, Stan Wawrinka’s story is one of them. In July 2026, the Swiss legend will play for the last time in the Roy Emerson Arena, in what will be his 14th appearance in the main draw of the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad.
At 40, Stan is embarking on his farewell tour with the same intensity that has marked his entire career. His start to the 2026 season is proof of this: a final at the United Cup, a third round at the Australian Open, and an undiminished desire to fight for every point. Gstaad is more than just a tournament; it is a place of memories, connection with the public, and shared emotions.
His first match is already scheduled for Tuesday 14 July, but the tribute will begin earlier. On Sunday 12 July, the organisers will invite the public to a grand Farewell Party in honour of the three-time Grand Slam winner. A celebration in his image: sincere, popular and full of emotion.
One thing is certain: the summer of 2026 in Gstaad will not be quite like any other. And Stan Wawrinka will write the final chapter of his story there.
