Wawrinka misses second semifinal after comeback

Stan Wawrinka leaves the field in Marseille with his head bowed – but the man from Lausanne can certainly take something positive from the past few weeks.

The 38-year-old from Lausanne had no chance against 18-year-old Frenchman Arthur Fils (ATP 118) two days after beating Richard Gasquet in three sets. 2: 6, 3: 6 is the verdict after more than an hour and a double fault on the sixth match point.

Perhaps things would have turned out differently if Wawrinka had made the early break to make it 2-0 early in the game, which was ready on the tray. In Fils’ first service game, he leads 40-0, but then loses five points in a row and then allows himself to serve twice in a row.

Although Wawrinka misses his second semi-final after making a comeback alongside Metz 11 months ago last September, he can take positives from the past few weeks. Thanks to the quarter-finals in Rotterdam and Marseille, the former number 3 in the world will be back in the top 100 of the ATP ranking from Monday.

For Fils it is the second semifinal in Marseille in February and the second semifinal in his third ATP tournament. He has 14:2 wins this year. (SDA)
