Actually, Stan Wawrinka fans love it in Paris. Not in duel with Hugo Gaston, a 20-year-old Frenchman, number 239 in the world. “Hugo! Hugo! Hugo!”, The few spectators of the French Open whip the stranger.
Gaston seems to inspire the calls. Especially in the all-important fifth sentence. There, the young man really shows up and presents himself absolutely fresh. 6: 0!
Rain after the referee’s discussion
But from the beginning. The game starts in the early afternoon. Unsurprisingly, Wawrinka presented 6: 2 in the first deal. But Gaston shows his best tennis and wins the next set quite confidently. Stan struggles, and then it starts to rain.
Wawrinka talks to the referee, wants to convince her of an interruption. Romand understands. Play is interrupted for a full two and a half hours when the score is 2: 2 in the third set.
Stan is only recovering to a limited extent, and the Frenchman has started to deal with him too. Only then does the experienced person know how to react and can force the decision.
Gaston’s fairy tale continues
Gaston really gets going. And Stan? Wawrinka has no choice but to slip away from Roland Garros. The tournament ends with a big surprise for the last hope of Swiss tennis in Paris.
For Gaston, however, the fairy tale continues. The 20-year-old Frenchman had never won a match on the Pro Tour before this week. Now he challenges last year’s finalist Dominic Thiem (27, ATP 3) on Sunday. Madness! (Lion)
