Stan Wawrinka returns to ATP Estoril for the first time since his 2013 title run, facing rising clay court specialist Roman Andres Burruchaga in the first round. While Wawrinka, in his farewell season, still delivers competitive matches, his recent record versus top 60 players shows his decline. Conversely, Burruchaga is enjoying his career-best season, making deep runs on tour and excelling on clay. Although Wawrinka can push the match the distance, the recommendation favors Burruchaga to win, likely in a close, extended contest.

Stan Wawrinka vs Roman Andres Burruchaga ATP Estoril Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Stan Wawrinka returns to Estoril for the first time in over a decade when he comes up against Roman Andres Burruchaga in the first round on Tuesday.

Wawrinka is continuing his farewell tour, with the 41-year-old set to officially call time on his decorated career at home in Basel at the end of the year. The Swiss veteran last played in Estoril all the way back in 2013, where he ended up winning the title with a victory over David Ferrer in the final.

It's been a mixed bag for Wawrinka during his final season on tour, but he's almost always competitive - but a 1-10 record vs top 60 players doesn't bode well for his winning chances here.

Burruchaga is enjoying his best season as a professional and has turned into a extremely solid clay courter, so this will be a very tough matchup for Wawrinka, who showed promise last week in Gstaad before fading in a three-set defeat to Jaime Faria.

It hasn't been a great start to the week for the Burruchaga family after Argentina's defeat in the World Cup final - his father famously scored the winning goal against West Germany in the 1986 final.

Burruchaga will be out to salvage the week with a strong individual performance in Estoril and he should be coming away with the win here - but Wawrinka can push the match over 22.5 games, which he has been doing consistently all year.
  • Wawrinka has seen Over 22.5 games in seven of his last eight best-of-three matches
  • Wawrinka has a 1-10 record vs top 60 players in 2026
  • Five of Burruchaga's last seven wins have come in three sets
  • Wawrinka has a 6-1 record in Estoril, but hasn't played the tournament since 2013

Wawrinka vs Burruchaga Head To Head

This will be the first career meeting between the pair.

Stan Wawrinka Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 7-14
  • ATP Estoril Record: 6-1
  • Current Ranking: No. 118
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 3 (2014)

Wawrinka is playing a reduced schedule in what is expected to be his final season on tour, with his focus shifting away from rankings and toward enjoying the biggest stages while creating a few more memorable moments.

The three-time Grand Slam champion produced some outstanding tennis during the Australian summer, starring for Switzerland at the United Cup before reaching the third round of the Australian Open, where he took a set off Taylor Fritz.

While he hasn't been able to consistently maintain that level throughout the season, Wawrinka has still shown flashes of his trademark brilliance, producing patches of spectacular tennis in four-set first-round defeats to Jesper de Jong at Roland Garros and Matteo Berrettini at Wimbledon.

Wawrinka was in action at home in Gstaad last week, but unfortunately it was more of the same - the Swiss showcased glimpses of his best tennis, but the consistency and physicality just isn't there. After winning the opening set in a tiebreak, Wawrinka succumbed 6-7 6-4 6-4 to Jaime Faria.

Roman Andres Burruchaga Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 10-10
  • ATP Estoril Record: 0-0
  • Current Ranking: No. 60
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 56 (May 2026)

Burruchaga has established himself as a top 100 player this year, emerging as a dangerous clay courter on tour.

The 24-year-old made his first big impact in Houston, where he beat Learner Tien on his way to a maiden ATP final, ultimately falling in a close three-setter to Tommy Paul.

Burruchaga also pushed Felix Auger-Aliassime in a four-set defeat in the second round of Roland Garros before making a deep run in Umag last week.

The Argentine made it a second ATP semi-final of 2026, beating top seed Flavio Cobolli before going down to eventual champion Daniel Merida.
