Australian Open 2026: Stan Wawrinka, 40, and Marin Cilic roll back years to advance in Melbourne

man 40 and still kicking in grand slams that's what i love about wawrinka's spirit 🙌 he's an inspiration to all us old folks trying to keep up with our younger counterparts lol but seriously his determination is something we could all learn from, especially in the face of adversity or decline. can't help but feel a bit bad for laslo djere though, losing like that after being down 1-0 would've been tough on him 😔 anyway gotta give props to wawrinka for making the most of his farewell tour and showing us all what's possible even in our 40s 🎾
 
Wow I'm still trying to process this 🤯 Stan Wawrinka is literally an inspiration! 40 and still crushing it in the Australian Open? That's what I call a testament to hard work & dedication 💪 I mean, he came back from being down in that first set, like what even is that kind of comeback skill? 😲 And yeah, his "triple bagel" win is crazy impressive - 5 times as rare as I thought it'd be 🤓.
 
🤩 40 and still firing on all cylinders 🎾! Stan Wawrinka's win is seriously inspiring, especially considering his age - he's basically proving that you're never too old for a tennis miracle 😅. The way he came back from losing the first set was pure grit and determination 💪. And let's be real, beating Djere in four sets without breaking down was no easy feat! Wawrinka's "triple bagel" win is crazy cool - I mean who needs youth when you've got experience and heart 🙌? He's setting an awesome example for all the older players out there, showing that even at 40 (and probably beyond 😂), you can still have a shot at greatness. Bring it on Wawrinka, we're rooting for ya! 👏
 
Can you believe Stan Wawrinka just showed everyone what's possible even at 40? He's an inspiration 🙌! It's amazing how much heart and determination can take you so far in tennis. And five "triple bagel" wins in a row? That's crazy! I'm not surprised he's been focusing on the Australian Open, it's like his farewell tour has got everyone talking 💬. I'm sending all my respect to Wawrinka for going out on such an incredible note 🙏. And let's be honest, who needs young legs when you've got experience and grit?
 
Man, Stan is a legend! I'm so hyped for him, beating Djere in that epic match 🤩🎾. You gotta give it up for 40-year-old Wawrinka, showing everyone what he's made of 💪. I mean, we've seen some retirements at the Aussie Open lately, but this one is special. He's got heart and determination pouring out of every sweat drop 🙌.

Triple bagel victories are super rare, so for him to pull that off is just insane 😲. And to do it in front of all those Aussies? Priceless! I'm sure it was a real testament to his competitive drive. He's still got it, and he's gonna go out on a high note 🎉.

I love how humble Stan is about it too - acknowledging that he's not "young any more" 🙏. But you know what? Experience counts for everything in tennis right now! He's making the most of his farewell tour, and we're all getting to see some incredible stuff 🌟. Bring on the next round against Gea!
 
OMG 🤯 I'm literally shook by Stan Wawrinka's Aussie Open win! 40 and still going strong 🙌 It's crazy to think he's gonna retire at the end of this season. This guy is giving me all the feels about living life on his own terms. 💪 And can we talk about how underrated he's been throughout his career? He's had some epic battles against top players, but you know what? Nobody talks about that enough 🤔

The fact that he came back from losing the first set and breaking down in the fourth set is just... WOW 😲. I mean, I've seen some comeback stories in my time, but this one takes the cake! Wawrinka's determination is truly inspiring.

I'm so glad the Aussie Open has become a proving ground for veteran players like Stan. It shows that you're never too old to chase your dreams and still make it happen 💫
