Wawrinka passes opening Gstaad test

AFP, Switzerland

Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka snapped his all-or-nothing career jinx at the Swiss Open on Wednesday, scratching out a 7-6 (8/6), 5-7, 7-6 (7/3) win over doubles partner Stephane Bohli.

Wawrinka, competing as a top seed for the first time since reaching the Top 10, avoided a fifth opening-round loss at this alpine village, lifting at the end to reach the quarter-finals after a bye.

It took nearly three hours and cost Wawrinka more than 40 unforced errors as he claimed victory with a passing shot against the number 137 challenger.
