Stan Wawrinka vs. Benjamin Hassan Prediction, Odds, Best Bets & How to Watch
Two wild cards collide in Dubai as Stan Wawrinka opens his 2026 Dubai Tennis Championships campaign against Benjamin Hassan. The winner is set to face either Juncheng Shang or third seed Daniil Medvedev. On paper, this is a mismatch, and the market reflects that clearly. Wawrinka enters ranked No. 98, while Hassan sits outside the top 250 at No. 287, with limited ATP-level exposure.
Wawrinka’s recent form, however, complicates blind favoritism. The 40-year-old is coming off consecutive early exits in Melbourne, Montpellier, and Rotterdam, and he has already confirmed that 2026 will be his final professional season. While his peak level is long behind him, his baseline remains ATP-viable. In 2025, his tour-level stats were 69% first-serve points won and a 34% break-point conversion, which suggest he can still control matches against lower-tier opposition.
Hassan is mainly a Challenger-level player. His run suggests occasional deep runs at that level but no singles titles and no meaningful ATP wins. His recent form is littered with early exits and failed qualifiers, and the absence of reliable ATP stats highlights the uncertainty around his ceiling here.

Our Pick: Stan Wawrinka -5.5 Games (+130, BetMGM)
The moneyline is effectively unplayable at current prices, baking in Wawrinka’s experience and Hassan’s lack of tour-level success. The more interesting question is margin. Wawrinka’s serve stats are no longer dominant, but against a returner with minimal ATP experience, he should still generate enough points.
The -5.5 game handicap offers the best blend of price and logic. At +130 via BetMGM, it assumes at least one decisive set or a clean straight-sets win with moderate control. Totals markets are less attractive with Under 20.5 heavily juiced, leaving little room for a routine win, while Over 20.5 relies on Hassan consistently holding serve.
Stan Wawrinka and Benjamin Hassan do not have a head-to-head record yet.
Projection: Stan Wawrinka wins in straight sets.
Higher Variance Set Bet: Stan Wawrinka 2-0 Sets (-220, FanDuel). Given that this is a higher-risk bet, it is recommended to be used as a secondary angle.
