00:00Looking to try and go back to back after winning just last week in Stockholm, his 14th ATP Tour title of his career.
00:10But he walks on to this centre court, nothing has been confirmed about any sort of retirement,
00:16but you kind of feel as though it might be heading that way, 40 years old now.
00:20His first round match with Quentin Alice, took that opening set in 22 minutes.
00:30Yeah, I don't know whether he intended to hit that backhand, Rude, but either way it was mightily effective.
00:54Yeah, just anticipated that Wawrinka was going to go back in behind in their Rude.
01:00Well, the first set belongs to the number four seed.
01:30Just a beautifully constructed point from Kasparu, just set the points up with the backhand,
01:45bided his time until he could get the forehand into play,
01:48and then just went to town on a couple of massive ones, and he gets the break back.
01:52Cranking it up.
02:03Oh, that is a thing of beauty from Stan Wawrinka.
02:26Oh, just look at the reaction from Rude.
02:44Well, Kasparu just keeps on rolling.
02:46Another win on the indoor hard courts this year, and he breaks a few Swiss hearts with it.
02:56Will that be the final time that we see for Wawrinka here in Basel?
02:59Well, what?
