PARIS (Reuters) - Stan Wawrinka rolled back the years to stop Stefanos Tsitsipas in his tracks in the match of the tournament on Sunday to set up a French Open quarter-final against fellow Swiss Roger Federer.

Giving away 14 years to the swashbuckling young Greek on a baking afternoon, 2015 champion Wawrinka prevailed in a riveting five-hour battle of the backhands in front of an enthralled Court Suzanne Lenglen crowd.
