From the start of the match, Cazaux took the lead by breaking the player who will celebrate his 40th birthday in March. Despite a surge of energy in the middle of the first set, Wawrinka was barely able to disturb the Frenchman. His hitting power wreaked some havoc, his one-handed backhand too, but not enough. Youth and passion were stronger this Monday. Victory in two straight sets, 6-4, 6-3 and 1h28 of play.
