The Open Occitanie, successor to the Open Sud de France, should formalize the participation of Swiss Stan Wawrinka (39) in the Montpellier tournament.
A big blow for the Open Occitanie. According to our information, the Swiss Stan Wawrinka39 years old and three-time Grand Slam winner, will compete in the Montpellier tournament for the first time since its creation in 2010. The organization should make it official in the coming hours.
We tend to underestimate the track record of “Stan the man”. Even if he has long been in the shadow of his compatriot, Roger Federer, the Swiss is one of the only ones to have shaken up the “Big Four” (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Murray) during the 2010s. He won the Australian Open in 2014, Roland-Garros in 2015 and the US Open in 2016. A major performance against the four monsters.
2012 Olympic Champion
During his career, Wawrinka won 16 titles and is an Olympic doubles champion with Roger Federer (2012). His temperament has often divided the public. Today he is one of the favorite players on the circuit.
Wawrinka is the third major name announced by the Open Occitanie (formerly Open Sud de France), after Richard Gasquet and Gaël Monfils. Three players with experience and a track record as long as a Tennis court.
