Stan Wawrinka has to give up for next week’s Geneva Open. The Vaud native canceled shortly before the draw due to injury.
The Romand played successfully in Rome this week. In Italy’s capital, the 37-year-old from Vaud has a game on the ATP tour for the first time after almost 16 months and two foot operations. On Thursday he lost to Novak Djokovic in the round of 16. In the game against the world number one, no physical problems were apparent.
The Geneva organizers have invited Leandro Riedi (ATP 229), the only Swiss player in the main tableau so far. The 20-year-old from Thurgau, who was in the junior final at the French Open in 2020, meets a qualifier in the first round. (SDA)
