Current Form:
Stan Wawrinka will shoot for a spot in the main draw of the 2026 Italian Open on Tuesday, facing a familiar foe in Pablo Carreno Busta. Wawrinka just ended a five-match losing streak with a 4-6, 7-6, 6-1 win over Stefano Travaglia in the first qualifying match. Expected to retire at the end of the season, Wawrinka has compiled a 7-12 record on the ATP Tour this year, though he is only 1-4 on clay.
Carreno Busta is 2-3 in his last five matches and 19-10 on the 2026 ATP Tour season. At Madrid, the Spaniard made it into the second round with a three-set win over Marton Fucsovics 4-6, 7-6, 6-2 before falling to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 6-3. Carreno Busta took down Martin Damm Jr. 6-3, 6-3 to set up a fifth career meeting with Wawrinka.

Our Pablo Carreño-Busta vs Stan Wawrinka Prediction
Playing on his strongest surface, Pablo Carreno Busta stands as a strong pick to cruise to a straight-set win over the aging Stan Wawrinka. Busta has put together a solid 11-3 record on clay and reached back-to-back finals in Challenger tournaments in Murcia and Montemar. Moreover, he earned his lone win over Wawrinka almost four years ago in Bastad, beating the three-time Grand Slam winner 7-5, 6-4.
Wawrinka ended a five-match losing streak with a hard-earned win over Travaglia. After a promising start to his final year on the tour, Wawrinka is beginning to show signs of wear and tear during the clay-court season. He has three wins over Busta in their head-to-head series, but earning a fourth win over the Spaniard is looking like a long shot given his current form.
Our betting prediction for Stan Wawrinka vs. Pablo Carreno Busta: Pablo Carreno Busta 2-0 Sets
