After two first round defeats in Basel and Paris, Stan Wawrinka easily won his opening match at the ATP 250 tournament in Metz. He defeated Spaniard Bernabe Zapata Mirallas 6:0, 6:2.

Wawrinka (ATP 53), good-humored and very aggressive, got off to a lightning start against the world number 81: he needed only 18 minutes to win the first set and conceded only five points.

Even after that, the 38-year-old impressed with powerful punches and numerous net strikes. After 52 minutes he uses his second match point.
