Match recap

Alex Michelsen defeated Stan Wawrinka 7(7)-6(1), 7(7)-6(4) in the R16 of the Geneva Open 2026.

Alex Michelsen won every game that mattered without ever taking one early: both sets to tiebreaks, both 7-6, and the only daylight came on return. He converted both break points he earned — 2 of 2 — while Stan Wawrinka cashed just 2 of 4 and saved none of his own. Wawrinka's nine aces outpaced Michelsen's five, but four double faults and a 47% second-serve hold sank him on the margins. A 77-71 points edge is all it took at the Gonet Geneva Open.
