Stan Wawrinka, a former champion, has secured a wild card entry for this year's French Open. This decision by the organizers places him directly into the main draw of the Grand Slam event at Roland Garros, they announced on Tuesday.

The 40-year-old Swiss athlete, who has clinched three major championship titles in the past, faces a challenging comeback after grappling with numerous injuries. As a result, his ATP ranking has fallen to 132.
