Basel ATP, Swiss Stan Wawrinka and American Donald Young

Today in 1/8 finals on a men's chordate tournament in Basel we are expected by opposition of 1 Swiss Stan Wawrinka, artificial on this tournament, and American Donald Young. It will be the 4th meeting between tennis players on a hard, but the first in the hall. So far Wawrinka conducts 2-1, but yet never he won against the American 2 sets.

Wawrinka in this season will try to be rehabilitated for a last year's unsuccessful performance when he already in the first match has conceded in 3 sets to Croat Karlovic. Of course, to lose to Karlovic on a hard it isn't so shameful, but for such player as Wawrinka all the same unpleasantly, especially on a house tournament. In the hall it is the second tournament for the Swiss, in St. Petersburg he has reached the final, having conceded there in 3 sets to German Zverev, having passed very easily on a grid prior to the final, without having given a set to the rivals. In 1/16 finals Wawrinka has played very difficult match against the compatriot Chiudinelli, having won in 3 sets.
Young on this tournament last year has shown very good result, having reached a quarterfinal where has conceded to the compatriot Sok. In this season the American has played on one tournament in the hall. Last week in Stockholm Young has lost already on start in 2 sets to Frenchman Mannarino. It will be already his 4th match on this tournament, at first he has passed surely qualification, and then also easily in 2 sets has beaten Ukrainian Marchenko.
