Wawrinka Eases Into Australian Open Fourth Round

MELBOURNE — Fourth seed Stan Wawrinka breezed into the fourth round of the Australian Open with a 6-2 6-3 7-6(3) victory over Lukas Rosol on Saturday.

The victory was the 2014 Australian Open champion's 400th on the ATP Tour and came a day after fellow Swiss Roger Federer recorded his 300th win at grand slams and Maria Sharapova her 600th WTA Tour-level win.

The 30-year-old Wawrinka had spent just over 3 1/2 hours on court in his first two matches at Melbourne Park, but needed 115 minutes to dispatch his fellow 30-year-old, though he was rarely stretched with few rallies extending beyond four shots.
