Felix Auger Aliassime has not looked at full fitness this year, and that vulnerability is notable despite his strong record on indoor hard courts and in Montpellier.

Head-to-Head
First meeting between the pair.
Auger Aliassime Searching for Rhythm Indoors
Felix Auger Aliassime has made a rough start to 2026, losing two of his first three matches of the season.
The straightforward nature of those defeats, including at the United Cup and Australian Open, has raised some concerns about his physical condition.
Indoor hard courts, however, have long been his best environment and offer a chance to reset. He won 19 of 25 matches indoors last year and owns an outstanding career record on the surface, making him one of the most dangerous indoor players when fully fit.
He has also thrived in French indoor events, particularly in Montpellier, where he lifted the title last year and reached the semifinal the year before.

Veteran Wawrinka Bringing the Battle
Stan Wawrinka, in what is expected to be his final season on tour, has looked highly motivated and ready to compete for every point.
Most of his matches this year have been tightly contested, and even in defeat he has shown strong effort and resilience.
His best result came with a run to the third round of the Australian Open, and he carried that level into Montpellier with a solid win over Hamad Medjedovic in the opening round.
The Swiss veteran is now targeting his first indoor quarterfinal on the main tour since 2024.

Verdict
Felix Auger Aliassime may not be at full fitness right now, but his outstanding record on indoor courts and past success in Montpellier make it difficult to oppose him outright.
With Wawrinka showing strong fighting spirit throughout 2026, a competitive match looks the most likely outcome. He should be able to win plenty of games and has the tools to push this contest deep, potentially even to a deciding set.
