PARIS: What was billed as an opening-day classic between two old warriors turned into a damp squib as Stan Wawrinka crushed Andy Murray 6-1 6-3 6-2 at the French Open on Sunday.
But as 16th seed Wawrinka, champion in Paris in 2015, raised his game, Murray, who wore black leggings on a chilly evening, capitulated alarmingly with his trademark battling qualities conspicuous by their absence. Murray's defeat by Wawrinka in 2017 was the final straw for a hip that has since required two surgeries, the second of which has left him with a metal joint.
He was soundly beaten by young Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime in the second round of the U.S. Open though and was hit off court by 35-year-old Wawrinka who has also been forced to come back from knee surgery.
Brawo Wawrinka
