Stan Wawrinka had a difficult Wednesday at ATP Metz. As he faced the local Luca Van Assche for a place in the quarter-finals, the Swiss experienced a painful elimination.
After pocketing the first set six games to three, the man with three Grand Slam titles granted himself a match point in the tie-break of the second set. But big bad luck for the 38-year-old player since he twisted his ankle in the middle of the exchange, before losing three consecutive points and seeing the Frenchman take the second set. Moment chosen by the Helvetian to throw in the towel.
In the next round, Van Assche will face his compatriot Pierre-Hugues Herbert for a place in the last four.
