Out in the 2nd round: Wawrinka has to admit defeat in three sets

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Stan Wawrinka is eliminated in the second round of the clay tournament in Buenos Aires. The Vaudois lost in three sets to the Chilean Nicolas Jarry.

The winner of the match, which ended in favor of the South American 6:7 (3:7), 6:2, 7:6 (7:5) after two hours and 51 minutes, could also have been Stan Wawrinka . The 38-year-old Romand has the opportunity to end the match with his own serve in the third set when the score is 5:4. Instead, he has to let Jarry, who is 39 places ahead in the world rankings, score the equalizer without winning any points himself.

Revenge for the defeat five years ago

In the decisive tiebreak, Jarry, who missed a first match point in the twelfth game, is always at the front and with his victory he takes late revenge for the defeat in the previous only match against Wawrinka. Five years ago, the French-speaking Swiss reached the second round of the tournament in Doha.

The last time Wawrinka won two in a row was last year at the US Open, where he lost in the third round to South Tyrolean Jannik Sinner.

Jarry has been a household name in our country, especially in French-speaking Switzerland, since he won the Geneva Open last May. The almost two-meter-tall Chilean made global news four years ago. He was given an eleven-month suspension for using banned substances. (SDA)
