Top Seed Wawrinka Coasts To Meet #NextGenATP Zverev

Top seed Stan Wawrinka matched his best showing at the Miami Open presented by Itau on Monday night with a 6-3, 6-4 win against Tunisia’s Malek Jaziri. Wawrinka outplayed the 33-year-old veteran, who was trying to match his fourth-round showing at the BNP Paribas Open last week.

The Swiss right-hander saved all six break points and converted two of his four break chances during the 70-minute contest. Wawrinka will face #NextGenATP star Alexander Zverev in the fourth round on Tuesday.

Zverev won their only prior FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting, last year during the St. Petersburg Open final. But Wawrinka, the top seed at an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament for the first time, will be trying to achieve his best showing in South Florida. The 31-year-old also reached the fourth round in Miami in 2009 (l. to Nadal) and 2014 (l. to Dolgopolov).
