PARIS—More than 20 years after making his French Open debut, Stan Wawrinka made his final Roland Garros appearance Monday.
The 41-year-old was defeated by lucky loser Jesper de Jong, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Following the contest, Wawrinka was honored on court in a ceremony that included congratulatory messages from Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic.
Wawrinka captured his second of three major titles here 11 years ago and was also the 2017 runner-up. Due to cap his career later this season on home soil in Basel, he finishes with 46 wins at the clay-court major.
