<p>Wawrinka has won three grand slams and regularly challenged alongside the ‘big four’ of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray until he suffered knee problems in 2017.</p>
<p>He has been unable to recapture that level since his return and slipped to a second-round 7-5 3-6 4-6 6-4 8-6 defeat to unseeded American Reilly Opelka having led two sets to one.</p>
<p>At 34, the Swiss accepts he is unlikely to compete at the top end of the men’s game again.</p>

<p><em>“I think before my surgery I was really consistent, finishing top five a few years in a row, playing some big tournaments, going far there,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“Now it’s been a bit different. But I’m really happy the way I’m playing.</em></p>
<p><em>“Hopefully I can keep playing well. I think I’m playing great tennis.</em></p>
<p><em>“Today it’s a tough loss, that’s for sure. But now it’s just a tennis match. The season is really long. There is a lot of tennis to play. I’m excited for the rest of the year.”</em></p>
<p>For Opelka, a 21-year-old who is measured at an inch short of seven foot, it was a first main-round draw win at Wimbledon and just his second ever grand slam win.</p>
<p>Daniil Medvedev, the Russian 11th seed, had no such problems and is through after he beat Australian Alexei Popyrin 6-7 (6) 6-1 6-4 6-4.</p>
