Stan Wawrinka, at age 40, made history at the Montpellier ATP 250 tournament by becoming the oldest man to record a tour-level indoor win outside the Davis Cup since Ken Rosewall in 1980. Wawrinka, competing in his final season, defeated Hamad Medjedovic in straight sets, 7-6(3), 6-4, in his first-round match, showcasing his experience and resilience. Despite facing challenges such as a low serve percentage of 38%, he saved four of five break points and secured the victory with strategic play, including two breaks in the second set. Wawrinka's win marks his 586th ATP career victory, and he will face defending champion Felix Auger-Aliassime in the next round. In the same tournament, eighth seed Aleksandar Kovacevic defeated 16-year-old qualifier Moise Kouame in three sets, 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-2, demonstrating his experience and resilience. Kovacevic, who previously reached the final in Montpellier last year, will next face French qualifier Titouan Droguet, who recently beat Kovacevic in Quimper Challenger. Other notable results include Adrian Mannarino saving three match points to upset Ugo Humbert, advancing to his 63rd tour-level quarter-final. Previews for upcoming matches include Medjedovic versus Wawrinka and Kovacevic versus Kouame, with predictions favoring Medjedovic in three sets and Kovacevic in three sets, respectively. The tournament continues to showcase emerging talents and seasoned veterans competing at a high level.
