"I'm really happy," he said. "Wimbledon is my favourite Grand Slam. It was in my juniors and still is.
"One year ago I was 250th in the rankings and if someone said I would not only play on Centre but win I would say: 'You are joking!'"
Wawrinka has only reached two quarterfinals in his 13 appearances at Wimbledon.
"I wasn't feeling the way I wanted to feel but I played against a great player," said Wawrinka. "I had problems with the knee since Queen's. It is not something new but something I had in the past. Apparently grass is not the best surface for my knee and I need to figure out what I'm going to do and come back when I have no pain."
