Wawrinka out of entry in Aix-en-Provence – rts.ch

Stan Wawrinka (39) came down a notch after falling at the start of the Masters 1000 in Monte-Carlo and then at the ATP 250 in Bucharest, hoping to regain confidence on the Challenger front. His defeat will only be harder to take: he had beaten the Spanish left-hander 9 times in 9 confrontations.

The three-time Grand Slam winner also achieved one of his only two successes of the year against Albert Ramos-Viñolas, last April 2 in Marrakech. But on Tuesday, he failed to pass 10, even after saving 4 match points in the 2nd set.
