Wawrinka keeps winning, downs Bublik at United Cup

Stan Wawrinka looks far away from retirement as the former grand slam champion put forward another solid performance beating Bublik in two sets 6-3 7-6(3).

Wawrinka looked pretty sharp at the end of the 2022 season during the indoor stretch and he's looked pretty good in recent weeks in exhibitions as well. That good play continue at the United Cup as he scored a pretty important point for Switzerland against Kazakhstan. The match started well for both but Bublik ran into some problems midway through the set as he was broken.

Wawrinka for the most part had no issues winning his service games doing so without allowing a single break point in the opening set. He lost only two points behind his first serve in the opening set. The second set was played better by Bublik as he wasn't broken this time around and we needed the tiebreak to see who will win the set.

Bublik was actually the more solid player in the set but it fell apart in the tiebreak as Wawrinka took an early 4-0 lead and used it to win it 7-3. A good win for Wawrinka who looks set to do some damage this year.
