Wawrinka Downs Murray In Brit's Possible French Open Swansong

French Open: Stan Wawrinka won a highly anticipated showdown against Andy Murray to reach the second round at Roland Garros. The 2015 champion recorded a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 victory in what could be Brit's final Paris singles match.

Murray was competing at Roland-Garros for just the second time in the last seven years, while Wawrinka overcame not just the challenge posed by the Briton to advance to the second round.

A break of serve in the first game, and a subsequent hold, gave Wawrinka enough of a cushion to take the first set (though he expertly navigated a 15-40 deficit to hold in the fourth game). More of the same followed in the second set, as the three-time major-winner broke at 1-1, and looked more than solid in his service games, Roland Garros reports.
