PARIS (Reuters) - Stan Wawrinka reached the third round at the French Open on Wednesday and said it was his love of tennis that helped him claw his way back from a painful knee injury. Regardless of the result of that match, Wawrinka is already happy that he can play tennis at full gas again after he came back too early in 2018. But again, at the end of the day, I knew why I wasdoing it, because I love tennis, I love the game, butespecially I love to play. He reached the quarter-finals of the Madrid Open earlier this month, only losing to 11-times French Open champion Rafa Nadal, but that promising result was followed by early exits in Rome and Geneva. "People were pushing too much, and he started to cry because he had some pain," world number 28 Wawrinka told reporters.
