Stan Wawrinka didn’t have the easiest opener at the French Open. The defending champion had to edge an in-form Lukas Rosol in the first round to win 4-6 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 after 3 hours and 11 minutes.
Wawrinka. He got tired at the end
Stan acknowledged it was a tricky match to comment “Really tough match today/ He was playing really well. He was going for his shot. He didn’t miss much until he started to get a little bit tired in the fourth set and fifth. But before that, I was always under pressure.”
Next Match vs. Taro Daniel
Stan will play the world n.93 Taro Daniel in the 2nd round. They have never played each so far.
Watch match point as @stanwawrinka downs Rosol (for the 2nd time in 2 weeks) 4-6 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 #RG16 https://t.co/DA9twYGymC
