"It was a really good match. I'm very happy ... I was serving well. I think I'm moving better and better, and it's all positive so far," Wawrinka said on Monday.
"I know how he's playing - more from the baseline, using his power. It's going to be interesting. I never practice with him, so it's going to be the first time we're going to be against each other. So I'm sure it's going to be a good match," he added.

Keys's opponent in the round of 16 will be Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, who rolled over the Czech Republic's Katerina Siniakova 6-3, 6-1.
