US OPEN: Wawrinka in heaven

Tennis – US Open 2010

Stanislas Wawrinka has qualified for the quarterfinals of the US Open. This is the first time he has reached this stage of the competition in a Grand Slam tournament. After a five-set victory over Murray, it also took the Vaudois player five sets to overcome American Querrey.

Score:
7-6 6-7 7-5 4-6 6-4 in 4h28′

The Swiss will face the Russian Mikhail Youzhny (No. 12). Stan is only the fifth Swiss player to reach this prestigious part of the draw of a major tournament. Another notable fact is that, along with Federer, there will be two Swiss players competing in the quarter-finals, something never seen before in the history of Swiss tennis.
