Stan Wawrinka (ATP 56) did not last the distance in Melbourne. Short of preparation, the Vaudois was eliminated in the first round of the Australian Open by Adrian Mannarino (19).
The only Swiss representative in the men’s singles table, the winner of the 2014 edition of the tournament lost 6-4 3-6 5-7 6-3 6-0 once morest the French left-hander. Before giving up physically once the 4th hour of play began, Stan Wawrinka had his chance. He, in fact, led two sets at one and 2-1 service to follow in the 4th set. The very moment he might begin to glimpse the finish line, everything became confusing for the Vaudois.
Wawrinka a eu sa chance
With his legs becoming heavier and his breathing becoming shorter and shorter, Stan Wawrinka was to win only one of the last 12 games of the game. The big regret perhaps comes from these 2 unconverted break points while Mannarino served to return to 2 sets all. This 9th and last game of the 4th set was the last turning point of the match.
For almost 3 hours, Stan Wawrinka really delivered the response he was hoping for. But due to his lack of preparation following his malleolus fracture suffered last October, he might not really hope to win over time once morest Adrian Mannarino. Titled 3 times in 2023, the Frenchman is establishing himself at 35 as a player now capable of playing in the big leagues.
