‘Terrible’ Wawrinka crashes out in Paris

Stanislas Wawrinka admitted he is struggling to piece together the puzzle of life as a grand slam champion after crashing out of the French Open in the first round.

The Australian Open winner and third seed never looked comfortable in heavy conditions after a wet day in Paris and fell 6-4 5-7 6-2 6-0 to Spain’s Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.

When Wawrinka lifted his first Masters trophy in Monte Carlo last month it looked like he could potentially add the French Open crown to the one he so stunningly won in Melbourne in January.
