Stan Wawrinka’s big win with Holger Rune at Indian Wells 2023

Now 37, Stan won the first set 6-2 but lost the second in dramatic fashion in a 7-5 tie-break.

The decisive game was extremely balanced, the difference came at the end (7-5), in the penultimate game (when Wawrinka won in return).

The match lasted a spectacular 2 hours and 40 minutes, and Stan Man showed more transparency in the important moments of the match.

In the 1/8 finals, Wawrinka will meet with another important representative of the young generation, Yannick Sinnec (the Italian is the 11th favorite at Indian Wells, he is coached by Darren Cahill).

It will be recalled that “Stan The Man” was at the top of the ATP hierarchy at number 3 (in January 2014), and during his career he won three Grand Slam tournaments: Australian Open 2014, Roland Garros 2015 and US Open 2016.
