Match recap

Stan Wawrinka defeated Raul Brancaccio 6-2, 4-6, 7(7)-6(5) in the R32 of the Geneva Open 2026.

A war of attrition swung on the second serve, and Stan Wawrinka had the only one that held up. After dropping the opener and trading the second set away, the Swiss survived a third-set tiebreak in a match that ran 465 minutes, winning 62% of his second-serve points to Raul Brancaccio's 42% — a 20-point gap that decided every tight game late. Wawrinka's 12 aces to three and 37 winners to 19 papered over a shaky 49% first-serve rate, and he converted 2 of 4 break chances to Brancaccio's 1 of 3. First meeting, first on clay, and the veteran takes it in three.
