Wawrinka is immortal!

Le 18/10/2024 à 17h30 par Elio Valotto

What Stan Wawrinka has just achieved is quite grandiose.

At the age of 39 and ranked 217th in the world, he has just upset Andrey Rublev, world number 7 and number 1 seed in Stockholm, in two sets (7-6, 7-6).

Buoyed by a rediscovered quality of serve and extremely aggressive baseline tennis, he took advantage of his opponent's instability to score his finest victory of the season.

Now resurrected, he will be aiming for a second consecutive triumph in the semi-finals, where he will face Tommy Paul, ranked 13th on the ATP rankings.
