The Swiss fourth seed wore down the veteran Stepanek 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 in just over two hours on Hisense Arena and will face another Czech Lukas Rosol in the round of 32.
Wawrinka&rsquo;s win over the 37-year-old, who had to qualify for this year&rsquo;s main draw, stretched his winning streak over Czech players to 11 and he has the chance to make that 12 against Rosol on Saturday.
He has not lost to a Czech player since he was defeated by Tomas Berdych in the Davis Cup first round in 2013.

Andy Murray's dog's name is Rusty Lleyton Hewitt!
