Stan the Man as Wawrinka seals comeback for Switzerland to dump Germany out of Davis Cup

It was Stan the Man as Stan Wawrinka rolled back the years to fire Switzerland past Germany and into the Davis Cup Finals for the first time after a stunning turn-around against Alexander Zverev and co.

The Germans went 2-1 up with Tim Puetz and Andreas Mies giving the hosts a lead after Wawrinka lost to Zverev yesterday but it was Marc-Andrea Huesler who produce the antidote for a comeback.

He saw off Zverev in straight sets and gave Wawrinka the chance to be the hero. It was a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 win for the multiple Grand Slam champion who produced a superb drop shot (below) to claim it.

“I’m happy I won one point and the last one was the most important,” said Wawrinka. “[Marc] played super well against Zverev. He put us back in the tie after losing the doubles.”

“We have a great team. They’ve been building this team for the last few years. I was happy to come back if they need me to help. I’m the oldest by far, but we had a great week. We were really helping each other — it was a great week for us."
