Stan Wawrinka<\/a> will make one more return to the site of his lone ATP Masters 1000 triumph before he retires in 2026: The Swiss former No. 3 player in the PIF ATP Rankings has been awarded a wild card for the upcoming Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters<\/a>. <\/p>\n The 40-year-old Wawrinka, who has so far notched six tour-level victories this season and last month returned to the Top 100 for the first time since 2024, will make his 16th main-draw appearance at the clay-court event. He holds a 22-14 record overall in Monte-Carlo, according to the Infosys ATP Win\/Loss Index. <\/p>\n You May Also Like: Why Stan Wawrinka’s last dance will be more salsa than slow waltz<\/a><\/p>\n Three-time major titlist Wawrinka clinched his only Masters 1000 crown in the Principality in 2014, when he defeated his countryman Roger Federer<\/a> in three sets in the championship match. <\/p>\n The other wild card announced on Thursday was Matteo Berrettini<\/a>. Last year, the former World No. 6 upset then-No. 2 Alexander Zverev<\/a> in Monte-Carlo for the biggest win of his career by PIF ATP Ranking. <\/p>\n Main-draw play at the 2026 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters<\/a> will take place from 5-12 April.
