Wawrinka Faces Boos Again at the French Open

PARIS — As if playing Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray in the French Open final was not a tough enough task, Stan Wawrinka will probably have to deal with a hostile Roland Garros crowd on Sunday.

The Swiss eighth seed beat France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semi-finals on Friday, facing boos from sections of the court Philippe Chatrier crowd after the match.

Wawrinka was probably paying for the comments he made after the Davis Cup final when he said the French, who lost 3-1 on home clay in Lille, should have talked less, adding that the Swiss had let their rackets do the talking.
