Wawrinka, Paire to play the final in Tokyo

Stan Wawrinka and Benoit Paire are great friend, but it’s time for them to put their relationship aside for the final in Tokyo (at least temporarily).

Wawrinka

Stan has reached the final after beating a tricky Muller in the semis 6-4 7-6 (5).  The only moment that the Swiss struggled a bit was when he failed to serve the match out when he was 6-4 5-4 up, for the rest it was almost routine.

Paire

Benoit is having a huge tournament to beat on his way Dimitrov, Baghdatis, Kyrgios and Nishikori. The semis against Kei was rather brilliant as the Frenchman came from behind after losing the first set 6-1. The final score was 1-6 6-4 6-2.

The final

Head to head is 4-1 for Stan that is the favorite for the title. Paire may also struggle as he has won every single match in 3 sets.

 

GREAT FRIENDS!!!
