final-ever year on the ATP Tour, Stan Wawrinka is surprisingly still yet to receive a wildcard from the US Open.<\/p>\n<p>The Swiss star confirmed he would retire at the end of the 2026 season and he has received a slew of wildcards at major events as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Wawrinka has appeared at all three Grand Slams so far this year, as well as the Italian Open, the Monte Carlo Masters, the Barcelona Open, and the Dubai Tennis Championships.<\/p>\n<p>While Wawrinka is yet to receive a wildcard from the US Open, his chances of doing so have just been boosted after the latest string of withdrawals from the Flushing Meadows Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan Quinn and Gabriel Diallo have withdrawn from the US Open this year, which has opened the door for Martin Damm Jr and Wu Yibing to enter the main draw.<\/p>\n<h2>More US Open news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/us-open-withdrawal-list-2026-14-stars-out\">US Open withdrawal list: 14 stars now out as Jannik Sinner among 3 big names still uncertain<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/us-open\/andy-roddick-carlos-alcaraz-us-open-injury-prediction-shock-return\">Andy Roddick makes Carlos Alcaraz US Open injury prediction ahead of shock return<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Damm Jr had received a wildcard into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a> this year, which he will no longer need, so it could free up a space for one of the veterans looking for instant access into the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Damm Jr\u2019s entrance into the main draw, there was just one remaning wildcard left for the US Open, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/grigor-dimitrov\">Grigor Dimitrov<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/stan-wawrinka\">Wawrinka<\/a> yet to be given one.<\/p>\n<p>Now there is two, there is an even bigger chance that Wawrinka will be able to play his final-ever US Open tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Both Dimitrov and Wawrinka were gifted wildcards for Wimbledon this year, but they had differing results at the grass court Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>Wawrinka was beaten in the first round of the tournament to end his time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a>, although he was given a very difficult match against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Matteo-Berrettini\">Matteo Berrettini<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dimitrov, meanwhile, enjoyed a very productive time on the grass by reaching the fourth round of the Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulgarian defeated Dane Sweeny, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jakub-mensik\">Jakub Mensik<\/a>, and Berrettini at Wimbledon this year, before losing to wildcard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/arthur-fery\">Arthur Fery<\/a> in the round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>After the latest developments at the US Open, both Wawrinka and Dimitrov will very likely get another chance to prove they can still cut it at Grand Slam level.<\/p>\n<p>This will, of course, be Wawrinka\u2019s final-ever Grand Slam appearance, should he be given the wildcard, so it would be very surprising to see the three-time Grand Slam champion miss out.<\/p>\n<p>Wawrinka won the US Open in 2016 to claim the third Grand Slam of his career and he beat the likes of <a
