Djere eliminated by 40-year-old veteran! VIDEO

After more than three hours of a tough battle, the Swiss player managed to turn things around and break Djere, despite being 41 years old.As previously announced, this is his &ldquo;final dance&rdquo; at the Australian Open, and, unfortunately for Serbian tennis fans, Lazslo was merely a stop along the way.The Serbian ace played excellently at times, especially at the start of the match, but later faltered under pressure, and the overall impression he left was not enough to bring the seasoned veteran to his knees.It started very well for Djere, who, after an initial &ldquo;testing of strengths,&rdquo; first saved Wawrinka&rsquo;s set point and then managed to get the first break, at a crucial moment.The 11th game was being played when he attacked Wawrinka&rsquo;s serve and gained the advantage, which he converted in the next game by taking his second set point.The second set was also very close, with small margins deciding it in Wawrinka&rsquo;s favor, again with a one-break difference.In fact, he made the break much earlier, in the fourth game, and then successfully held his serve, although it took him four set points to even the overall score.The third set was almost a repeat, with Wawrinka&rsquo;s break coming in the seventh game and no real answer from the other side.📊 Eternel Stan Wawrinka 🇨🇭 !Pour son dernier Open d&#39;Australie, le Suisse devient le 2e joueur le plus &acirc;g&eacute; &agrave; remporter un match en Grand Chelem depuis le d&eacute;but des ann&eacute;es 80 :1️⃣ Karlovic 🇭🇷 - 40 ans et 326 jours2️⃣ Wawrinka 🇨🇭 - 40 ans et 296 jourspic.twitter.com/l6TtSEB1Ys&mdash; Jeu, Set et Maths (@JeuSetMaths) January 19, 2026The experienced Swiss player turned the match around, putting the full pressure on Djere, who managed to fight back.In the fourth set, the young man from Senta got a break for 4&ndash;2, but the pressure on his shoulders proved too much, and he immediately lost his advantage.Wawrinka regained momentum and kept attacking Djere, who held on until the tiebreak&mdash;but no further.Carried by strong support from the stands, the 40-year-old veteran started the tiebreak 3&ndash;0, then 4&ndash;1, and very quickly closed out the match in his favor.In the second round, Wawrinka will face the winner of the match between 17th seed, Czech Jiř&iacute; Lehečka, and French qualifier Arthur Gea.The Djere vs. Wawrinka duel was followed live via B92.sport LIVE BLOG.
