Stan Wawrinka is not far from the end.

At the age of 39, the Swiss is having an extremely difficult season and is currently ranked a worrying 234th in the world.

And yet, the former world No. 3 remains a talented player capable of some dazzling feats.

And that's exactly what he did in the first round of the Shanghai Masters 1000.

Facing Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, ranked 50th in the world and known for his fiery serve, 'Stan the Man' played an extremely solid match, winning in two tight sets (7-6, 7-6).

The win takes Wawrinka through to the second round, where he will face Flavio Cobolli.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
