Stan Becomes Semifinalist for Second Consecutive Time at ATP World Tour Finals World No. 4 Stan Wawrinka (VCORE Tour G, SHT-PRO) capped of his great season by reaching the semifinals at the ATP World Tour Finals for the second consecutive year. Completing in the Group A round-robin with a 2-1 record, he faced fellow Swiss player Roger Federer on Saturday, November 15th. To make the championship round, Stan demonstrated solid serving performance in the final round-robin match against this year’s US Open winner Marin Cilic on Friday evening. The Swiss player secured 62% of his second serve points throughout the match, definitively taking the initiative in his service games, while his opponent only earned 31%. Controlling the games well and keeping the Croatian from making many break points, Stan steadily gained a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win. In Saturday’s semifinal, Stan and Roger boasted an exciting battle aiming for the final stage. Stan displayed a competitive performance to overcome the world No. 2 and primarily dominated the final set with four match points, despite not clinching victory. “I think there were only few points that made the difference. I was playing great tennis. [I was] really happy with the way I was playing,” he commented on the ATP website. Opening this year with his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, Stan ended the season with a 38-17 match record, including three titles. Now, he has his sights set on the Davis Cup World Group Final. We look forward to more great things from Stan next season after this great year.
