MELBOURNE: Former champion Stan Wawrinka said he played his best match since knee surgery threatened to derail his career as he upset world No 4 Daniil Medvedev Monday to race into the Australian Open quarter-finals.
“I think last time I played so well was before the surgery. I think for sure, I feel since the off-season my level is really high. Physically I’m moving better than last year. So I’m improving,” he said. “The level was super-high and atmosphere is so special here in Australia,” said Wawrinka, who is into his 18th Grand Slam quarter-final, behind only Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray among active players.
But Medvedev came roaring back to break and take a 3-1 lead in the second set as Wawrinka lost his range, breaking again to take the set in emphatic fashion.
