• Stan Wawrinka (ATP 17) surprisingly has to bow to world number 239 Hugo Gaston in the third round of the French Open.
• The Swiss loses against the French with 6: 2, 3: 6, 3: 6, 6: 4, 0: 6.
• Play is interrupted in the 3rd set when the score is 2: 2 due to rain.
• Gaston, 20, plays surprisingly strong, while Wawrinka shows not his best, but solid tennis.

Hugo Gaston swept Swiss Stan Wawrinka off the field in the deciding set at 6-0. Then the tears of joy became visible, the emotions overwhelmed him. The 20-year-old Frenchman was in the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time and has never had to face a top 50 player.

Already from the second sentence it was announced, which became a fact in the end: Gaston was better in this form than the winner of three Grand Slam. Wawrinka was the dominant player only in the first set:

• 2nd sentence: The drizzle set in, too little to interrupt the game, but too much for Wawrinka. The Swiss fought under slower conditions and his number of winners fell from 12 in the first set to 7 (with 12 errors each).
• 3rd movement: Play continued in the rain until 2-2, then referee Marijana Veljovic interrupted the action. But Gaston was also better on the restart and dry. While the Swiss wasted opportunities to break, the French took his opportunity.
• 4th movement: A true breakout festival, 5 out of 10 games ended with service advancements. 3 of them went to Wawrinka, who benefited from the best nerves in this sentence.
• 5th movement: Wawrinka dropped somewhat, but it stood out in this round that Gaston came back up and won the set 6-0.
