Wawrinka keeps up winning run to reach Paris quarters

The climate was dull and wet however that did not stop a radiating Stan Wawrinka from having a ton of fun on Sunday as he delighted in a mid-match rally with a ballboy before spinning 360 degrees on court to bring a selfie-video with 10,000 French Open observers.

In the middle of the considerable number of sideshows, the dominant champion lit up a desolate Roland Garros with his startling day-glo yellow shirt as he achieved the quarter-finals with an astonishing 7-6(5) 6-7(7) 6-3 6-2 win over Serbia's Viktor Troicki.

In an amusing match including between-the-leg shots, 105 sweetly-struck victors and a variety of blinding strikes from Wawrinka, the Swiss third seed chalked up his fifth progressive win over Troicki when the Serbian netted a strike.

"For me, it was an incredible win, an extraordinary match, an extremely strong match," a wet Wawrinka told correspondents subsequent to playing the second set through a hazy downpour shower.

"I figured out how to stay extremely quiet, I didn't get energized, or bothered, despite the fact that I lost the second set. I didn't squander any intelligent vitality since I was exceptionally quiet."

The win earned Wawrinka an eighth progressive triumph on earth, taking after his triumph in the Geneva competition a weekend ago, however all the more vitally it permitted him to set up a quarter-last meeting with unheralded Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas.

Troicki kept Wawrinka on his toes amid the primary portion of the challenge, with the Swiss winning the opening set on his eighth set point before the Serbian sacked the second set on his fifth.

Subsequent to surrendering the tiebreak with a miscued throw, Wawrinka offered himself a snide go-ahead and over and over nudged the side of his sanctuary with his forefinger, undoubtedly pondering "what the heck was that?"

All the circling Troicki did in the initial two sets made up for lost time with him halfway through the third and he approached the coach.

As the Serbian lay level on his back to have his hip controlled, Troicki was the main individual on Philippe Chatrier Court who passed up a great opportunity for watching "an exhausted" Wawrinka exchanging groundstrokes with a ballboy.

"I inquired as to whether he played tennis and I thought, 'why don't we go and hit a couple balls'. He wasn't reluctant to be on focus court," a grinning Wawrinka said.

"We had a little talk. He was a decent child. It was pleasant for him. It was a good time for the group of onlookers. I was a tad bit exhausted sitting tight for him (Troicki) so it kept me occupied."

The treatment, be that as it may, neglected to have the wanted impact as Wawrinka "fixed a couple stray pieces" to flee with the last two sets and sentenced Troicki to a twentieth progressive annihilation against main three rivals.
