Stan Wawrinka, now ranked 217 in the world, won the quarterfinal with 7–6 (7–5), 7–6 (7–5).
It's fantastic. I played at a high level. He plays fast so I tried to play aggressively and it was a fantastic atmosphere. I'm really pleased, says Wawrinka to SVT.
Rublev, seventh in the ranking, had several outbursts of rage.
You have to see it as positive, you're doing something right on the court. It's always better that the opponent gets frustrated than that you do, says Wawrinka.
Wawrinka is trained by Magnus Norman. He was ranked third in the world ten years ago and took three Grand Slam titles in 2014–2016.
In Saturday's semifinal, American Tommy Paul awaits.
