The Romand meets Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the 2nd round of the US Open. He has good memories of the Argentine.

Stan Wawrinka had to be patient for a long time before he could once again celebrate a win at the US Open. On Tuesday, the Romand eliminated the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka (ATP 44) in the first round in “Flushing Meadows” – 1459 days after his last victory at the last Grand Slam tournament of the year.
The world number 49 does not want to wait so long for the next victory. Wawrinka will continue in the second round in New York on Thursday evening. His opponent: Tomas Martin Etcheverry (ATP 34).
See you in the 2nd round
Wawrinka has good memories of the Argentine, who advanced to the quarterfinals at this year’s French Open. A few weeks ago, the two dueled at a Grand Slam: In Wimbledon, also in the second round.
The Swiss made a solid performance back then. Only in the 2nd set did Wawrinka suffer a short slack on the “sacred lawn”, which in the end did not stand in the way of the deserved victory.
The encounter with Etcheverry can certainly be marketed as a generational duel: the 1.96 m tall Argentinian is 14 years younger. In general, Wawrinka causes a stir with his age. At 38, he is the oldest player in the 2nd round of the US Open since Jimmy Connors in 1992.

But then he lost – at the age of 40 – in the second round. At least in that respect, Wawrinka doesn’t want to do the same for Connors. The recipe is supposedly simple: simply show the same game as in London again.
