Injury-hit former Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka says the love of the fans is what keeps him going after he earned a first ATP Tour win in 15 months.
Wawrinka, 37, fought back from a set and a break down to beat American Reilly Opelka at the Italian Open.
The Swiss, now ranked 361st, was playing only his second tour match since March 2021 after a foot injury.
"The support is the main reason why I'm still playing and came back," Wawrinka said after his 3-6 7-5 6-2 win in Rome.
British number two Dan Evans continued his winless run in the main draw at the Masters 1,000 event after a 7-6 (7-2) 6-2 defeat by Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili.
