Stan Wawrinka (VCORE Tour G, SHT-PRO) is continuing his run back to the Aussie Open trophy, moving into round four with a victory over Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen. Stan once again demonstrated staggering prowess on the court with ferocious forehand winners, dominating with both power and precision. Stan hit 55 winners out of 104 total points—53%, an incredible percentage, with the average at the tournament currently at 36%. Particularly excelling in short rallies, and proving dangerous when close to the net, Wawrinka earned yet another straight-sets victory, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4, moving onto round 4.
Pierre-Hugues Herbert (VCORE Tour G, YONEX String) is into the doubles quarterfinals with partner Nicolas Mahut. The two are proving to be formidable opponents on the court, breezing past two seeded pairs in straight sets, with a 6-3, 6-4 win against 11th seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal/Robert Farah in the second round and a 6-3, 6-3 victory against Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi/Nenad Zimonjic in the third. In women’s doubles, Yonex players Zheng Jie (EZONE Ai 98, POLYTOUR SPIN) and Martina Hingis (EZONE Ai 100, POLYTOUR PRO 125, SHT-PRO) faced off, with Zheng making it into the quarterfinals with her partner.
Stan’s VCORE Tour G continues to deliver him great results once again at this year’s Australian Open. Pierre is also seeing stunning results with the racquet that delivers devastating spin and power, made especially for offensive big-hitters. The newest evolution in the VCORE Tour series, the VCORE Tour F, increases serve speed by a staggering 6% thanks to its unique construction. Utilizing Yonex’s new Aero Fin Technology, fins equipped in the top of the racquet frame cut down on air resistance, giving you the speed you need serve bigger than ever before.
