Wawrinka crashes out of Rome after losing to Italian teenager

TIL Desk Sports/ Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka crashed out of the Italian Open after suffering a shocking first-round defeat to 18-year-old Lorenzo Musetti.

On Tuesday, Musetti earned his first ATP Tour victory defeating Wawrinka 6-0, 7-6(2) in a match that lasted one hour and 24 minutes.

Wawarinka made many unforced errors in the first set which saw him lose it without winning even a single game.

However, the Swiss raised his level in the second set to work his way back into the match, overcoming an early break deficit to get back on serve.

 However, Musetti displayed fearless brand of tennis and controlled points against the 35-year-old, finishing off his victory with a winning cross-court forehand passing shot.
