Stan Wawrinka has obtained one of eight wild cards for the Wimbledon tournament which begins Monday in a week. The 37-year-old Vaudois will not need to resort to his protected classification.
After his long break due to injury, Wawrinka is currently only number 290 in the ATP rankings. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament that the Vaudois has not won. His best results on the London turf were quarter-finals in 2014 and 2015.
Among the women, Serena Williams also received a wildcard. The 40-year-old American has not played a match on the WTA Tour since her elimination in the first round a year ago at Wimbledon.
