Former champion Stan Wawrinka has been awarded a main-draw wildcard for this month's French Open, in what is set to be his final appearance at the tournament. The 41-year-old Swiss, who won Roland-Garros in 2015, announced that this season will be his last before retirement.
Plans are in place to honour Wawrinka after his final match in Paris, as well as to celebrate the career of home favourite Gael Monfils, who will also retire at the end of the year. Monfils, a semi-finalist in 2008, has also been given a wildcard.
Wawrinka, now ranked 125th, reached a career high of world number three. He beat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic when both were ranked world number one to win his three grand slam titles. He also won men's doubles gold alongside Roger Federer at the 2008 Olympics and the 2014 Davis Cup.
Monfils, 39, became the ATP Tour's oldest winner of a title when he won his 13th in Auckland in 2025. He is a two-time major semi-finalist, also reaching the last four at the 2016 US Open.
Belgian veteran David Goffin, who has also announced the 2026 season will be his last, was not given a main-draw wildcard. The 35-year-old, ranked 249th, was instead awarded a wildcard into the qualifying tournament. Goffin reached a career high of seventh in the world and won six ATP Tour titles.
Other men's wildcards went to Nishesh Basavareddy, Adam Walton, Titouan Droguet, Hugo Gaston, Arthur Gea and Moise Kouame. Women's wildcards were given to Emerson Jones, Akasha Urhobo, Clara Burel, Ksenia Efremova, Fiona Ferro, Leolia Jeanjean, Sarah Rakotomanga and Alice Tubello.
