Stan Wawrinka will also be there at the Paris Games. The Vaud native has in fact received one of the two wildcards in the tennis tournament intended for Olympic champions or winners of a Slam: the announcement comes directly from Swiss Olympic, on the day in which the names of twenty-three other Swiss athletes selected for the Olympics are published , in a list that now includes 82 names. For Stan the Man it will be the return to the Olympic spotlight twelve years after the last time, in London, when he had the honor of carrying the Red Cross flag at the opening ceremony, before having to withdraw due to injury in the editions of Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021.
In addition to Wawrinka, Swiss tennis will be represented at the 2024 edition by Viktorija Golubic (WTA 69), who won the silver medal in doubles three years ago alongside Belinda Bencic.
