PARIS - Stan Wawrinka rolled back the years to stop Stefanos Tsitsipas in his tracks in the match of the tournament on Sunday to set up a French Open quarter-final against fellow Swiss Roger Federer.
Tsitsipas, 20, looked on the brink of victory at 5-5 in the fifth set but could not convert any of the three break points that came his way and 28th seed Wawrinka went on to claim a 7-6 5-7 6-4 3-6 8-6 victory. Sixth seed Tsitsipas admitted defeat, when he was playing such scintillating tennis, had left him in tears.Third seed Federer, bidding to emulate his 2009 French Open title, was sublime in the dazzling sunshine, waltzing past Argentine Leonardo Mayer 6-2 6-3 6-3.
He will face the winner of the match between Kei Nishikori and Benoit Paire which was stopped for bad light.
