US EditionWorcester Tennis Star Stuns Former Champion at French Open
- Jacob Fearnley, the 23-year-old British number two from Worcester, impressively won his French Open debut by beating ex-champion Stan Wawrinka in three consecutive sets.
- Fearnley's victory followed Wawrinka's long career peak, noting that the 40-year-old Swiss won a title 10 years ago but is no longer the player he once was.
- The match lasted just over two hours with Fearnley winning 7-6 , 6-3, 6-2 despite the crowd's strong support for Wawrinka and partisan comments directed at him.
- Fearnley said, "A lot of it was in French," acknowledging the crowd's partisanship while remaining unfazed, and this win avenged Andy Murray's first-round loss last year.
- This achievement is a significant milestone for Fearnley and helps Britain reach a notable landmark by having six players advance past the opening round at the French Open for the first time since 1973.
