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."
