“I hope my game is going to click soon. I’m patient enough to know that sometimes it takes time,” said the Swiss player, who underwent two knee surgeries in August, 2017.
“I’m playing well and feeling well on the court. I still have some big result inside me so hopefully, they can come sooner than later.
“I’m ready to keep working the right way to get back in a better place and to win more matches and hopefully get later in the tournament.”
Wawrinka will next play Argentine Guido Pella, who put out Barcelona finalist Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 1-6, 6-3.

The Briton had made a dash to Madrid on Sunday evening after playing the Rabat clay final. Konta won her opening match against Alison Riske but could not match Halep, the defending French Open champion.
“I feel good every time when I come to Madrid and I’m happy to be back and winning matches,” Halep said.
“It was a good match. Both of us played very well and, in the end, I was a bit stronger mentally and I found a rhythm.”
