Stan Wawrinka’s Also Unhappy With The French Open, Specifically A $H!T Article On Their Website
First Roger Federer, now Stan Wawrinka is enraged at the French Open. Wawrinka also won today in straight sets defeating Marcel Ilhan, but afterward took exception to a now-deleted article titled “Stan the Man versus Ilhan and Ilham” that appeared for a short time yesterday on rolandgaros.com, the official website of the French Open.
The article went into speculation over Wawrinka’s breakup and rumored romance with WTA 18-year-old Donna Vekic.
“Completely stupid article,” Wawrinka said. “It’s official website of a Grand Slam, so I hope the guy who did that article is not a journalist. I also hope the guy who is supposed to check all the article on the website is not working anymore for the tournament. Because for me, for a Grand Slam website, it should be an article about the tennis and that’s it.
“I saw the article last night. I told the tournament that I wasn’t really happy about it, and I don’t think it was great for the tournament to do that shit article. That’s it. But after that, you know, I’m here to play tennis and to focus on my game. I can put that on the side, and that’s it.”
Wawrinka at least got off to a better start on the court here than he did a year ago when he lost in the first round.
