It was an impressive performance from the 30-year-old who needed just two hours and one minute to record the straight-sets victory.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:AUS15-250 ]Key to Wawrinka\u2019s victory was his excellent return. Wawrinka won 44 percent of his receiving points against Stepanek with the Swiss star converting five of his 12 break point chances.\u00a0 He also found some success in his occasional forays to the net, winning 11 of his 21 points there. With the win, Wawrinka is through to the third round of the Australian Open for the eighth straight year.<\/p>\n<p>Wawrinka will look to keep the momentum going when he takes on Lukas Rosol in the third round. The fourth seed will fancy his chances of doing just that as he has fared extremely well against Rosol of late. Wawrinka has beaten Rosol in each of their last two meetings with the world no. 4 dropping just one set during that span.<\/p>\n<p>Wawrinka is 8-2 in his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join TopBet online sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and put your Australian Open predictions to the test!<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Lukas Rosol<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Lukas+Rosol+2016+Australian+Open+Day+2+CqJGVG9DKCCl.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-92163\" title=\"Stan-Wawrinka-vs-Lukas-Rosol-Preview\u20132016-Australian-Open\" alt=\"Stan Wawrinka vs Lukas Rosol Preview \u2013 2016 Australian Open\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Lukas+Rosol+2016+Australian+Open+Day+2+CqJGVG9DKCCl.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Lukas+Rosol+2016+Australian+Open+Day+2+CqJGVG9DKCCl.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Lukas+Rosol+2016+Australian+Open+Day+2+CqJGVG9DKCCl-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lukas Rosol booked a place in the third round of the Australian Open with a stunning 7-6(6) 7-6(5) 6-3 win over No. 25 seed Jack Sock on Thursday. It was a fantastic showing by Rosol who needed just two hours and 16 minutes to record the straight-sets win. With the victory, Rosol is through to the round of 32 at the Australian Open for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Things are bound to get tougher, though, for the Czech star as he will next face the 2014 Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka. He is 0-2 lifetime against the world no. 4. Rosol will take comfort in the fact, however, that he pushed Wawrinka to the brink in their last meeting in Geneva last year. He lost to Wawrinka in three sets in that contest, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.<\/p>\n<p>For Rosol to grab the massive upset this time around, he will need to continue his excellent play on the service end. He put into play 58 percent of his first serves against Sock with Rosol winning an incredible 80 percent (61-of-76) of those points. Rosol served beautifully in the big points, saving all of Sock\u2019s 10 break-point opportunities in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>Rosol has to be aggressive right from the get-go for him to stand a chance against the two-time Grand Slam champion. He will need to put pressure on the Swiss star and he can do that by employing his highly-effective net play. He won 21 of his 28 net points in the previous round against Sock. For the tournament, Rosol has won 72 percent (55-of-76) of his total net points.<\/p>\n<p>Rosol is 6-4 in his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Wawrinka (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/mens-australian-open-rd-of-32\" target=\"_blank\">-1,200<\/a><\/strong>)\u00a0edges past Rosol in four tough sets.<\/p>\n[sc:AUS15-620 ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"92159\" 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;2,322&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former champion Stan Wawrinka stormed into the third round of the Australian Open with an emphatic straight-sets victory over Radek Stepanek on Thursday.
