Felix Auger-Aliassime Salutes Stan Wawrinka After Montpellier Win

Auger-Aliassime beat Wawrinka 6-4, 7-6 in Montpellier, their first tour meeting, then posted: “Grateful to share the court… Always hoped I’d have the chance to experience that special backhand.” Wawrinka, 40, plans to retire after 2026 after a third-round Australian Open run and had beaten Hamad Medjedovic earlier. Auger-Aliassime advanced, adding: “Hoping for another evening of fun atmosphere.”
