PARIS—After Stan Wawrinka ended Andy Murray’s stay at the French Open yet again—and this time, it was perhaps Murray’s last singles appearance at Roland Garros—the two long-time opponents, both in their late 30s, met at the net for a handshake, an embrace, and a lengthy chat.

Wawrinka, whose trademark one-handed backhand helped him put together a 6–4, 6–4, 6–2 victory in the first-round contest Sunday night, then joined fans in applauding for Murray as he headed toward the locker room.
