Finally Wawrinka!
The Australian Open is really struggling with his tennis to lose 4 consecutive matches (single tournaments) and 3 straight openers.
The Swiss had a tricky task in his first match in Paris to pay rising star Dominic Thiem. Stan won the opener by achieving the decisive break in the 10th game (6-4) and in the second set he had to save a set points in the tiebreak (5-6) before winning the match 6-4 7-6 (8). Match Stats
Wawrinka: Today I played well from the start
Stan was visibly happy for his win “I started this tournament off pretty well, which I usually don’t do because usually I need time to adapt. today I played well from the start. I want to play well at this tournament and really have a chance going into London. I want to enjoy it and do my best.
Next vs. Anderson
Stan will play Kevin Anderson in the next match. Head to head is 3-2 for Stan, but Kevin has won the last 2 matches both in 2014.
