Stan Wawrinka refuses to hang up his racket, despite his age (40 years) and his ranking (159th) pushing him towards retirement. The Swiss has once again shown that he still has magic in his wrist. This was evident in his debut at the ATP Athens, where he managed to come back against Botic Van de Zandschulp and then held on for an important victory with scores of 2-6, 7-6(5), 7-5, after a two-hour and 20-minute match. However, Stan won't have much time for celebrations as he will face Lorenzo Musetti in the Greek tournament's round of 16, who is still fighting to qualify for the ATP Finals.
