Canadian top seed opens his account against the veteran.
Top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime has suffered a rusty start to the new season, and will be looking to get back on track at the ATP Open Occitanie 2026 in Montpellier. After receiving a bye in the Round of 32, the Canadian sees himself contesting a heated pre-quarterfinal encounter against Swiss legend Stan Wawrinka on Thursday. At the age of 40, Stan the Man is still revolutionizing how we look at age in the sport of tennis. Will the three-time Grand Slam champion cause an upset of epic proportions on French soil?
Auger-Aliassime and Wawrinka will stand across the net for the very first time in Montpellier. The 25-year-old is the current World No. 8 on the ATP circuit, and finished 2025 with a semifinal at the US Open and his maiden entry into the Top-5. He has eight singles championships including three ATP-500 titles. When it comes to attaining success in the golden era of men’s tennis, Wawrinka stands tall among the best. A former World No. 3 himself, the Swiss icon is also an Olympic gold medalist in men’s doubles as well as a Davis Cup champion. Standing at No. 113 in the world at present, Wawrinka has 586 wins and 381 losses throughout his career.

With the markets showing numerous fluctuations in the moneyline and handicaps, it would be a risk not worth betting on. Auger-Aliassime is the clear favorite to advance to the quarterfinals, but the scoreline remains unclear. The two-time US Open semifinalist has a phenomenal record on hard courts, winning over 85% service games on the surface. Wawrinka is not far behind with a 2026 success rate of 88% on his own service games. He has also served 83 aces in just one month of tennis.
In addition to their strong serves, both players like to adopt an attacking stance while returning. This will make it increasingly hard for them to earn breaks, which is why we are predicting at least one tiebreaker on Thursday. Auger-Aliassime is still returning to full match fitness and Wawrinka played out a confident encounter on Wednesday. The player props and unit plays points towards this being a tight affair in Montpellier.
The head-to-head record between Stan Wawrinka and Felix Auger-Aliassime is unavailable (0-0) at the moment. Stay tuned for further updates.
