Stan Wawrinka’s 18th and final US Open ended with a straight-sets defeat by Italy’s Matteo Berrettini. The 41-year-old Swiss lost 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-3), 6-0 in the opening round.
Wawrinka, ranked 127th in the world, secured a wildcard at the last moment. He faced Berrettini, who stood 84 places higher in the rankings, and mounted a strong fight in what marked his final appearance at the tournament.
The match turned on the tiebreaks. As at Wimbledon, Wawrinka could not convert his opportunities in the decisive points, losing both opening-set tiebreaks before Berrettini closed out the match with a 6-0 third set.
