Found out the reason, why it's not working. The SFP module on the switch doesn't support 100mb ethernet, and the router wan port only goes up to 100mb

ping another static IP static 10.10.10.103 from switch -> works
swap the switch with an unmanaged switch and ping 10.10.10.102 from PC -> works
change the router to another model, do the same configuration -> ping doesn't work
Often routers won't respond to pings received on their WAN port by default.
