This is going to be the first ever official match for Stan the Man in six months, last one being his loss against Dimitrov in straight sets at Acapulco, back in February.

I hope Safiullin learns from this. The result should be NID though.

I doubt that under these circumstances Stan would have entered a challenger to give another non-Slamrinka appearance. So I expect at least a couple of matches from him.

What if Stanimal appears.

Oooh, Prague is a slam now?

Very interesting to see how Stan does this. The fact that he wants to "warmup" means he's probably not giving up to improve, I mean he could've just played a 250 or 500 and then a Slam. At least from what I see Stan seems to be very precocious and didn't really go around but then I think he has a private court anyway to train. I'm pretty happy overall to finally see some ATP tennis again.

HaHaHaase already lost to yet another nobody so this tournament is meaningless.

I see Tallon Griekspoor is in the draw too. After he lost the F of the Dutch national tennis championships, he played a national ranking event not that far away from where I live. He lost the singles to Tim van Rijthoven and withdrew from QFs in doubles. My money is on Kimmer Coppejans, but at challenger level, you never know.

Good for Prague to have a top 20 player in the draw. Stan looking for rhythm on clay I guess.

HaHaHaase could lose to a nobody at a slam.

Oh, he WILL play a couple of matches for sure — he's staying in Prague for two weeks and two Challengers.

Safiullin's is second in 5 months. Not much of a difference...

The match will start around 14:15/14:30 CET, tune in ATP

Players on court, warming up [1/WC] Stan Wawrinka (SUI) vs Roman Safiullin (RUS) on Livestream

 

[64794]

Monday, early afternoon, Stan playing against world no. 178, and already 1K watching this match on the streaming service. this is how much WE MISS tennis. And it is only 5 minutes into the match 😂

 

[64794]

Clinical from Stan, destroys the Russian in the first set, 6-1

 

[64794]

Stan got broken, back on serve 2-2*

 

[64794]

Hahaha Safiullin went for underarm serve seeing Wawrinka standing WAAY behind the baseline, but was a failure in the end.

 

[64794]

Stan serves now to stay in the set. He stays too much behind the baseline while returning, this might be a problem especially if he is to lose this set.
