# Tennis: Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka has received a late wildcard into the US Open men’s singles main draw. The 41-year-old Swiss, who will retire at the end of the year, was initially not given a wildcard after not entering qualifying. The United States Tennis Association received some criticism for this decision. However, American wildcard Patrick Kypson has withdrawn with an injury, resulting in Wawrinka, the 2016 champion, being offered a place in the main draw. The US Open gets underway on Sunday at Flushing Meadows.
