Stan Wawrinka puts an exclamation mark at the start of the Masters tournament in Madrid. The 38-year-old manages to turn the match against service giant Maxime Cressy (25/ATP 39) after losing a set, winning 6: 7 (3: 7), 6: 3, 7: 6 (7: 4 ).

In the duel, which is clearly characterized by service, Wawrinka immediately starts with three aces, but sometimes plays wrong. The lost first sentence acts as a wake-up call. Worn by the Madrid public, the number 84 in the world already plays out her routine and causes Cressy more and more problems.

In the end, the victory of the Romand, celebrated in the Spanish capital, is deserved – with 19 aces he beats ten more than specialist Cressy.

Rublev in shape as the next opponent

But the task doesn’t get any easier in the second round. Now the Russian Andrey Rublev awaits, who was initially provided with a bye. The 25-year-old from Moscow is number five in the ATP 1000 tournament and recently celebrated the biggest success of his career with the title in Monte Carlo.

But Wawrinka seems to have warmed up now – before the duel with Rublev he says: “Of course, it’s going to be super tough. But I hope I can play really good tennis.”
