Convincing start in Paris – Strong Wawrinka gives Murray no chance – Sport

• Stan Wawrinka reached the second round of the French Open in convincing fashion.
• Romand easily wins against Andy Murray 6: 1, 6: 3, 6: 2.
• In the second round there is a duel with the formidable German Dominik Koepfer (ATP 66).

There was a lot of anticipation for the classic between Stan Wawrinka (ATP 17) and Andy Murray (ATP 111). In many places a marathon similar to that of their semifinal duel three years ago was expected, the game lasted 4:34 hours. However, it turned out quite different.

Now against a German

For once, Wawrinka had no exit problems and put the stamp on the game early on. Murray had little to oppose Romand’s powerful game and was not a true benchmark for the entire duration of the game. After just 1:37 hours, Wawrinka’s 6: 1, 6: 3, 6: 2 victory was perfect.

In the next round, the 35-year-old should feel a lot more headwind. Meet the German Dominik Koepfer. The world number 66 recently attracted attention in Rome when she reached the quarterfinals and there Novak Djokovic demanded it all in three sets.
