Stan Wawrinka let his tennis do the talking as he brushed off the after-effects of a cold to breeze into the fourth round of the Australian Open with a 6-2 6-3 7-6(3) victory over Lukas Rosol on Saturday.
A croaky voice and bloodshot eyes told the tale of the illness that has laid low the fourth seed this week but the 18 aces and 45 winners he conjured up on court suggested his game was largely unaffected.
"I just had a cold a little bit, but nothing serious, nothing big," the 2014 Melbourne Park champion said.
"As long as I'm feeling good on the court, that's the most important thing. The rest, if I don't have a voice, if I feel a little bit sick, it doesn't matter."
Wawrinka had spent just over 3 1/2 hours on court in his first two matches at Melbourne Park, but needed 115 minutes to dispatch his fellow 30-year-old.
The French Open champion defused the tall Czech's serve and broke it four times over the first two sets before clinching the third on a tiebreaker.
