After a very long fast, 456 days, the Swiss tennis player Stan Wawrinka comes back to victory. Over the years, the expert Swiss tennis player has been one of the very few players, together with the British Andy Murray, to win Grand Slams and create difficulties for the Big Three.
In the last period the tennis player has remained stationary for some time due to heavy injuries and there are even those who hypothesized the tennis player’s retirement. Fortunately this did not happen and the former Grand Slam champion returned to victory at the Internazionali d’Italia in Rome.
The Swiss beat the American Reilly Opelka in three sets, even somewhat surprisingly. After losing the first set ‘Stanimal’ reacted well, down 4-2 also in the second, he overturned the match and then closed easily in the third set.
Nice victory for Wawrinka who celebrates the victory with a liberating cry after a long absence. Here is the video of the match point:
