Stan Wawrinka will look to take another step towards defending his title when he squares off against Viktor Troicki tonight. Join The Roar for live scores from around 8:30pm (AEST).

With both players are having almost identical runs through the first three rounds, this one is set up to be an instant classic. With the defending champion not playing to his optimum levels, the time to strike is now for Troicki.

Stan the Man has been good without being great, needing five sets to get past his first round opponent. Since that first round however Wawrinka has yet to drop a set.

Troicki has been near on identical with Wawrinka, also needing five sets in his first round encounter he has only dropped the one set since. The third round match-up against Giles Simon failed to live up to any hype, as Troicki was far too good.

While Wawrinka holds a distinct 4-0 advantage with two of those victories coming on the clay surface, this one shouldn’t be as lopsided as the bookmakers might have you believe.

Prediction
Troicki will give Wawrinka a few issues and will even steal a set or two however I feel like Wawrinka is just starting to find his form from last year’s Open and will be too much to handle.

Wawrinka in four sets (6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5).
