French Open: Wawrinka thrashes Murray as big match falls flat

The Hindu  

What was billed as an opening-day classic between two old warriors turned into a damp squib as Stan Wawrinka crushed Andy Murray 6-1 6-3 6-2 at the French Open on Sunday. The last time they met on Court Philippe Chatrier, in the 2017 semifinal, Wawrinka came through a five-set slugfest but this time it proved a painfully one-sided affair as Murray suffered his equal worst Grand Slam beating. It's not the sort of match I would just brush aside and not think about it,” Murray, whose previous worst loss was a 6-3 6-2 6-1 hammering at the hands of Rafa Nadal at the 2014 French Open, told reporters. “I need to understand why the performance was like that.” Murray's defeat by Wawrinka in 2017 after an epic four and a half hour tussle proved almost the final straw for a crumbling hip that has since required two surgeries, the second of which has left him with a metal joint.
