Melbourne: The 40-year-old Stan Wawrinka said a heroic final farewell to the Australian Open on Saturday as he bowed out of Melbourne in the third round in a battling loss to Taylor Fritz.
The ninth seed from the United States sent the wildcard and popular former champion from Switzerland spinning out 7-6 (7/5), 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Wawrinka, who made his debut at Melbourne Park in 2006 and won the major in 2014, is playing his last season before retiring.
Fritz faces the fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti of Italy in the last 16.
There was nothing between Wawrinka and Fritz in the first set and they went to a tiebreak, where they exchanged a series of thunderous forehands.
