Stan Wawrinka beats Dominik Koepfer 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 to reach round three! He really does look in fine fettle, and will next play the winner of the match between Hugo Gaston, the 20-year-old French world No239, and Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka. That’s currently ongoing on Court 5 and going very much in the Frenchman’s favour: he leads 6-4, 7-6, 1-0 (on serve), another game that seems to be being decided on small margins – there’s very little in the stats to split them except for break points won – Gaston has won three of six, Nishioka two of 14!
Koepfer holds serve on Lenglen to get a foothold in the fourth set. He’s still 5-1 down to Wawrinka, though, and the Swiss is looking in very fine fettle, so best not to get carried away.
