(VIDEO) Wawrinka orchestrates crowd with his racquet after sealing epic win to reach Umag final

Switzerland’s veteran tennis player Stan Wawrinka celebrated his victory after the semifinal of the Croatia Open in an interesting manner.

The 38-year-old secured his place in the final of the tournament after beating Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego in the last-four clash in straight sets on Saturday with a score of 6-3, 6-4.

After that victory, Wawrinka engaged with the fans sitting in the arena, acknowledging every section of the crown by raising the racquet.

Wawrinka will now be hoping to clinch the accolade which will be his 17th ATP title when he will face Australia’s Alexei Popyrin in the final on Sunday.

The Lausanne-born will be eyeing this competition as a sort of training for the upcoming US Open which is set to begin in less than a month’s time.

Wawrinka won the US Open back in 2016 when he defeated Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the final with a score of 6–7(1–7), 6–4, 7–5, 6–3.

Since then, the former world number three has not played beyond the quarterfinal stage, something he would like to change this time around.
