Wawrinka takes on a daunting task in veteran Fernando Verdasco, who he\u2019s struggled against in the past. Can Wawrinka take one more step toward the Wimbledon title? Or will Verdasco stop the Swiss\u2019 momentum? Read on for a preview of this intriguing matchup.<\/p>\n<p>The third round of Wimbledon is ripe for the picking.

But that hasn\u2019t stopped him from dominating his opposition, defeating Victor Estrella Burgos and Joao Sousa both in straight sets. He tallied 40 aces in his first two matches at the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:Other240banner ]What makes Wawrinka so difficult to beat is his excellent serve. He\u2019s won 84 percent of his first serve points at the tournament thus far. But his poor accuracy hurts his game, as he is putting just 57 percent of his first serves into play. Wawrinka had six double faults in his last match against Estrella Burgos alone.<\/p>\n<p>Playing against a strong service player in Fernando Verdasco, Wawrinka will need to get his return game on point. He\u2019s won just 36 percent of his return points thus far. But he\u2019s been quite an opportunist, winning 40 percent of his break points.<\/p>\n<p>Wawrinka would be better served to keep his opponent on the move to avoid Verdasco\u2019s excellent return game and powerful forehand. The Swiss has been successful with his approach shots in the tournament thus far, winning 69 percent of his net points across two matches. Breaking Verdasco\u2019s rhythm on volleys should help Wawrinka get plenty of crucial winners.<\/p>\n<p>Wawrinka has lost two of his three career matches against Verdasco. One of those losses came 10 years ago on clay. The Wawrinka of today is a different animal with two Grand Slam titles to boot.<\/p>\n<p>Think Wawrinka can follow in Roger Federer\u2019s footsteps as the next Swiss sensation? <a title=\"Join Top Bet Sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and back this young hotshot.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Fernando Verdasco<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Fernando-Verdasco.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65878\" alt=\"Fernando Verdasco\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Fernando-Verdasco.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Fernando-Verdasco.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Fernando-Verdasco-250x171.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fernando Verdasco didn\u2019t have a smooth ride on the way to his third round match against Wawrinka. He needed five sets to win each of his first two matches against Dominic Thiem and Martin Klizan, and both are not exactly world beaters. But the Spaniard has the best method of play to counter Wawrinka\u2019s own style.<\/p>\n<p>Verdasco is a well-rounded player capable of winning games both on serve and on the return. He\u2019s won 71 percent of his service points, along with 44 aces through the first two games at Wimbledon. Verdasco is also tied for first in the tournament, winning 55 percent of first serve receiving points. Inhibiting Wawrinka\u2019s first serve is crucial for Verdasco to steal this match.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard has also excelled in his approach shots in his first two matches at Wimbledon, winning 73 percent of his net points. Approach shots will be crucial to expose Wawrinka\u2019s struggle on the return.<\/p>\n<p>Verdasco has won two of his three matches against Wawrinka in his career. But all three of those came on clay, and Wawrinka is more dangerous on the faster surfaces like grass. It\u2019ll also be interesting to see how fatigue influences Verdasco\u2019s style after playing a total of 10 sets heading into this match.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Wawrinka (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/wimbledon-mens-matchups-parlayable\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>-600<\/strong><\/a>) batters an exhausted Verdasco for a four-set victory.<\/p>\n[sc:Other490banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"65875\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,456&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off winning a French Open title, Swiss sensation Stan Wawrinka is on to the third round of the 2015 Wimbledon Championships.
