Wawrinka has had a very poor 2021 tennis season so far. Even though he managed to reach the quarters of the ATP Melbourne 2021, he failed to impress the fans at the Australian Open 2021. Despite fighting hard, the Swiss player lost to Marton Fucsovics in the second round of the tournament.
Things got worse for him at the Rotterdam Open 2021 as he got knocked out from the first round of the competition. Interestingly, he lost to Karen Khachanov in straight sets. The same story continued at the Qatar Open 2021 where he lost to South African player Lloyd Harris in the first round itself.
