Wawrinka felled at Queen's
Stan Wawrinka became the latest star to suffer a shock exit from Queen's Club as the French Open champion was beaten 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (13/11) by South Africa's Kevin Anderson on Wednesday.
Wawrinka couldn't find a way to subdue the big-serving Anderson, who fired down 22 aces en route to his first win over a top five ranked opponent this year.
A hard-fought first set looked to have swung Wawrinka's way when he secured two set points at 6-5, only for the Swiss to let Anderson off the hook as the 29-year-old raced through the subsequent tie-break.
The players went to a second set tie-break where Wawrinka save five match points and Anderson rescue two set points before the South African finally sealed his win.
