Wawrinka, 38, earned his first win in New York in four years as he beat Japan&rsquo;s Yoshihito Nishioka 7-6 (7/5), 6-2, 6-4 in the opening round.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I think I&rsquo;m playing well. I&rsquo;m not trying to compare from the past because it&rsquo;s never good idea to compare a few years ago what I was doing,&rdquo; said Wawrinka, who lifted the US Open trophy in 2016.&nbsp;

&ldquo;But I&rsquo;m happy with my level. I know where I am right now. I know I can beat some really good players. I can be really competitive. I&rsquo;m moving well.&rdquo;&nbsp;
The Swiss goes on to play Argentine 30th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry, who outlasted Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen in a fifth-set tie-break. Wawrinka has reached the quarter-finals or better on six occasions.
