  "account": "Stan Wawrinka experienced an emotional send-off at the US Open as he concluded his Grand Slam career. The 41-year-old Swiss tennis player, who won the US Open in 2016, 2014, and 2015, was given a wildcard at the last minute, despite initially being overlooked. He received a warm welcome from thousands of fans packed into the 8,000-capacity Grandstand court at Flushing Meadows. Wawrinka made heart gestures and handed out balls as souvenirs to the enthusiastic crowd. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to finish his career at such a significant venue, where he had won a Grand Slam title 10 years prior. Despite the late notice, Wawrinka quickly arranged to return to New York for this special occasion.",
