Stan Wawrinka vs Cameron Norrie preview

Stan Wawrinka will face Cameron Norrie in the first round of the Barcelona Open this week.

Wawrinka has announced his retirement from professional tennis at the end of the season. He’s made a promising start so far by amassing a runner-up finish in the United Cup. He also reached the third round of the Australian Open but lost to Taylor Fritz in four sets.

The Swiss veteran will enter Barcelona after early exits in Dubai, Naples (Challenger) and Monte-Carlo. Despite a spirited performance against Sebastian Baez, the Argentine defeated him in the first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters 7-5, 7-5.

Meanwhile, Cameron Norrie has maintained his place among the top 25 players in the world this year. After a third round exit in the Australian Open, he reached the last 16 in Rotterdam and the quarterfinal in Indian Wells. The Brit also competed in the Miami Open but lost to Alex Michelsen in the second round.

Norrie will also enter Barcelona after a short stint in Monte-Carlo. After a narrow victory over Miomir Kecmanovic, he couldn’t solve the riddle against Alex De Minaur. The Australian eliminated him in two hours and 24 minutes, 7-6(5), 2-6, 6-2.

Stan Wawrinka vs Cameron Norrie prediction

Wawrinka has yet to register his first win on clay in 2026. The 41-year-old is a former French Open champion, which highlights his credentials and skill level on the clay courts.

On the other hand, Norrie showed his resilience over Kecmanovic but couldn’t win another three-set battle against De Minaur. The Brit hasn’t been easy to play against this year and will be hungry to make a deep run this week.

Wawrinka likes to be patient before making his move and is known for his exquisite timing off the backhand wing. Meanwhile, Norrie likes to penetrate his opponents with his forehand and always comes up with a decent strategy.

Wawrinka can expect to be under pressure against a solid competitor like Norrie. The Swiss has beaten him twice in the past, but this may be the first time Norrie holds his nerve and defeats him in the Barcelona Open this week.

Pick: Norrie to win in three sets.
