Stan Wawrinka (ATP 88) easily climbed to the second round of Wimbledon. The 38-year-old Vaudois, convincing on the London lawn, beat Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori (47) 7-5 7-5 6-4.
Like Belinda Bencic, Stan Wawrinka found the joys of victory on the London lawn. The Vaudois won ahead of the Finn Emil Ruusuvuori in a meeting in which he was not really the favorite. But thanks to his backhand slice and a 1st ball that slammed in good times, Stan Wawrinka picked up a success that does not suffer any discussion, his 1st also since 2019 in the only Grand Slam tournament he has not won.
After this success against a player who nevertheless played in the semi-finals of the ‘s-Hertogenbosch tournament three weeks ago, Stan Wawrinka can approach his second round with real optimism. He will oppose him to a clay court specialist, the Argentinian Tomas Etcheverry (29) or the Spaniard Bernarbe Zapata Miralles (53).
