The standing of Stan Wawrinka in the world of tennis was demonstrated by the Swiss second-round game against Filip Krajinovic's game at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami. While the number five of the tournament, Kevin Anderson, was sent to the third largest court, the three-time major champion from Switzerland was allowed to play at the Hard Rock Stadium. Number 30 in Miami.
The match against Krajinovic also gave a lot of drama, in the end a tie break had to decide in the third set. There Wawrinka already led with two mini-breaks with 5: 2, Krajinovic came up again, had the first match point after 2:39 hours of play - and won in the end with 5: 7, 6: 2 and 7: 6 (5).
This means that, as in Indian Wells, Roger Federer does not meet in the third round.
Previously, Denis Shapovalov had also prevailed in three sets in a very entertaining match against Daniel Evans. Daniil Medvedev had no problems with Adrian Mannarino, Karen Khachanov, who was still a quarter-finalist in Indian Wells, went down against Jordan Thompson in two sentences without sound.
