Sydney, Jan. 9 -- Stan Wawrinka has been handed an Australian Open wildcard as he begins the final season of his career, with Australian Nick Kyrgios missing out.
According to BBC Sport, Three-time Grand Slam champion Wawrinka announced in December that 2026 will be the final season of his trophy-laden career.
The 40-year-old former world number three won the first of his three major titles at Melbourne Park.
"Winning the Australian Open in 2014, my first Grand Slam title, is an absolute career highlight for me, so I'm incredibly grateful to receive this wildcard," said Wawrinka.
