Stanislas Wawrinka eyeing revenge against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez

Stanislas Wawrinka has admitted that he is looking forward to a rematch against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the fourth round of the Australian Open.

The 29-year-old lost to the Spaniard in the first round of the French Open last year in four sets, and will now face off against the 31-year-old after defeating Jarkko Nieminen in straight sets in the Rod Laver Arena.

Wawrinka told reporters: "It was a tough loss that is for sure. He has been playing great, but it will be nice to play him again in a Grand Slam.

"I'm going to practise hard and make sure I'm ready for the test."

Garcia-Lopez beat Vasek Pospisil to set up the meeting against Wawrinka in the tournament.
