The 2015 French Open will wrap up the quarterfinal round on Wednesday, and it could be tough for the day's action to match the surprise drama that Tuesday provided.

No. 8 Stanislas Wawrinka upset No. 2 Roger Federer in straight sets on Day 10, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(7-4). Wawrinka's fast, aggressive play produced 43 winners, per RolandGarros.com, and earned him a famous win.

In five long sets, No. 14 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga defeated No. 5 Kei Nishikori, 6-1, 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3, in a match that had a bizarre, frightening delay when a metal piece of the scoreboard broke off and fell into the stands.

The women's draw was rather less eventful, with No. 7 Ana Ivanovic easily dispatching No. 19 Elina Svitolina in two sets, while No. 13 Lucie Safarova continued her sparkling run in Paris with a 7-6 (3), 6-3 victory over No. 21 Garbine Muguruza.
