Stan Wawrinka: -Won his first Grand Slam at 28 years old. -In 4 finals, he won 3 times. -He beat Novak Djokovic twice and Rafael Nadal once. He only lost once against Nadal and that was during the French Open, which is quite "normal". In my opinion, Wawrinka is the most respectable player I've ever seen.
Stan Wawrinka is the most underrated player in Tennis. He has the best strokes in the game with the big three included! Period! When at his best he is fantastic to watch!
Yeah Stan gets overlooked a lot bc he was never N.1. But if you look at all the players who had been N.1, like 4/5 of them could never pull off what Stan did in his three successful GS runs
In the modern game on either the men's or the women's sides the two handed backhand takes precedence and will continue to do so. Federer has stated that if his twin sons decide to play tennis he will teach them the TWO handed backhand despite the fact that Roger has stated that HIS two handed backhand is as lousy as Joan Baez's poetry (according to Dylan).
Stan Wawrinka and Andy Murray are the only two guys to win multiple Grand Slam titles (3 apiece) in the era of the Big Three. Winning 3 GS titles doesn't seem like a lot in the long run but it's really a remarkable achievement considering they both played while Novak, Rafa and Roger were in their prime.
No celebrations even after winning GS.. Purely controlled emotions.. 💞 Calm going and never looked tired.. Probably best player on hard courts to defeat djoker.. 💖.. He deserved many grand slams infact.. 💟
Gemma James On hard court it’s tough. I mean watch Rafa’s AO 2009 run, particularly against Verdasco who was on fire. He got to shots that were nearly off screen at times. Both were animals in their primes though.
Sachin Johri yeh because he’s the best athlete on a tennis court ever but no doubt Djokovic is the better defender on a hard court. He slides on hard like Rafa does on clay it’s ridiculous l he even does it on grass now. Rafa on clay is a joke
FACT: 52 of the last 62 Grand Slams have been won by Roger, Rafa, Novak. Only 5 other players have a slam since 2004. Of those 5 players, only 2 of them have more than 1 slam (Stan 3, Murray 3). Pure dominance by the big 3. So it makes it even that much more amazing that stan has even won 3 slams.
@V Who is the only player that has a career grand slam, the most masters career titles, the only +400 wins on hard and clay, the only player to win multiple slams on non-favorite surfaces, the only player to win the French and US open in the same year (3 times), an olympic gold medal, the summer slam and clay slam. Only one player and that is: Rafael Nadal. Owned. I own you all day all night and you got nothing on me. Nice try. You lose again.
@V be a man and admit when you lose a debate. I did nothing but give you FACTS and then in the next message you tell me to list stats? LOL are you blind? I just listed a whole bunch that nobody else has done but Rafa. All my answers backed with stats, yours just backed with childish impudence. Grow up man and learn how to debate. Want some more stats? Out of Nadal's 18 slams, guess how many he had to win in the finals against Roger/Novak? 10. That's 55.55%...more than half. Nobody else has had to face Roger/Novak more than Nadal in a finals match ...not even Novak or Roger if you do it the other way. Out of Nadal's 26 total slam finals matches, he had to face Roger/Novak 17 times. That's a whopping 65% of all his slam finals had to face Roger or Novak. Nobody else comes close. Novak only 52%, Roger is somewhere down in 30%. So while Roger built his career on cans and tuneups, guess who Nadal had to build his legacy on? Roger and Novak. To build your greatness and legacy on 2 other goats, that makes it remarkable why Nadal is the TRUE GOAT. He's had the hardest fight in his career and that's why he is the GOAT. These are facts and stats! Don't cry now in the next message with your childish whining. I gave you facts, now lets see if you can be a real man and accept it. Like I said....ownage.

Wawrinka - Djokovic head to head 6-20. Head to head in slams: 4-4. Wawrinka titles: 16, Wawrinka slams: 3. This guy definitely seems to motivate himself more in the majors.
@@NamTran-xc2ip Federers h2h against stan is 23-3 and Stan has never beat him on HCs... are you actually trying to say Stan is better lol? Idiotic take. Stan's h2h against novak in slams is great, but I think RG 11 nole was slightly better than RG 15 nole and Federer did beat him on grass in 2012. Plus, us open 2008 and 2009 nole was better than him in this final. Wawrinka's ao 2014 nole is probably the most impressive thing though given that he is the only one to beat peak novak at AO, but then again no one else beat peak novak at AO.

@@Divvy21 Stan is more consistent, deep and powerful, unlike Federer who's bh land on the service line half of the time, and prone to errors. That's the reason why he couldn't beat Djokovic
Stan is Novak's achilles heel. I think I might know why. 1), Stan is a living backboard just like Novak-giving him a taste of his own medicine. He just keeps sending it back at you until YOU make the mistake. 2), Almost every shot coming from Stan is a rocket, including his backhands which are the strongest on Earth. Federer keeps dishing out his soft, feathery shots which Joker loves since it gives him the respite to marshal a plan and attack. Stan doesn't give him that luxury. Each and every shot is coming out of a cannon not giving Novak the time to strategize. HE's always under pressure and desperate to just keep the ball in play. Now if only Federer could take a hint from his pupil.
Ah yes all Fed needs to do is 'take a hint' and start hitting fiery slingshot backhands that only Stan can do. What a silly guy. If only he were here on youtube perusing the comment sections for such gems of wisdom, he could have won more slams
It's not that easy I fear. Wawrinkas Phisicality is something else. Extreme concentrated power and stamina. Federer just isn't built for consistently pounding the ball in that way. He relied on keeping the rally short and constructing angles to hit precise winners. When the courts slowed down, he started to play "safe" but if 50% of your backhands land before the service line you'll have a hard time against a 5 years younger opponent with infinite stamina like Djokovic...
The GOAT has a 22-6 hth on him. Stan's never gone further than 2 QFs at Wimbledon. He's 38 years old. Grass isn't his service. GOAT will notch up 24th GS next week Sunday, minus the 2 bans last year. GOAT is 2 years younger. Stan has only 3 which is still amazing, and his backhand the best the tennis world has ever seen. In his prime, he bundled out the GOAT in 2 GS finals, but that was awhile ago and both once offs. Only one GOAT. Hard luck for Stan tomorrow. If he wasn't playing the GOAT, he might've made the semifinals of Wimbledon for the first time but that's where it would end. Course I'm being generous

In term of level, there is the Big 3, Novak, Roger, Rafa, then there is the big guys, Wawrinka, Murray, Del Potro, then there are the consistent guys, Anderson, Isner, Cilic, Nishikori, Thiem, and then there is the wasted guys, Dimitrov, Raonic, Verdasco, Tsonga, Monfils, then there is the next gen, and then there is Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic
Just watched the whole match over a two day period. First time I have watched since watching it live on TV in 2016. Great match by Wawrinka, really wore down Djokovic to the point of exhaustion. What I really find interesting is how Wawrinka could stand so far back on the US Open hardcourt and still be successful. He has the power to do it, I suppose as results have indicated, that policy is not really sustainable over a long period of time but he had enough to win this championship in 2016.
He has the power to do it consistently and also i think he doesnt really like playing near the base line and the ball on the rise hence the poor performances on grass.
Thats a pity for Stan He can't say it generally for his whole rivalry against Djokovič. Djokovič leads h2h against Wawrinka 19:6 .... Djokovič beated him 4times on GS.... Another fact is that Djokovič played with injured elbow on US open 2016 ... Went on surgery after months of pain. This was not prime healthy Djokovič.... This Djokovič was washed up ..

1:52:55 interesting strategy by Novak. Pretend like you've stopped the point. Look at the chair umpire like you want to review the line call. Then proceed to continue playing the point and confuse your opponent to play a bad shot.
I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN THIS HATE ME IF YOU WANT TO BUT WHEN NOLE LOSES HE EITHER DOES THIS TYPE OF STUFF OR IS VERY OVER DRAMATIC ABOUT IT THATS THE REASON I DONT LIKE HIM AND HIS FANS ARE ALWAYS LIKE HE WAS INJURED AND STUFF BLA BLA BLA
Looking at the 2019 US Open and how Joker retired before Wawrinka was going to win in straight sets you could see he was ready to tap out at 3-0 in the 4th set, BUT he didn’t to not look bad in quitting in a final.
Amazing! Can’t stand but support him so much. Djokovic is so reluctant in loosing. That’s why he’s great and also fears 20% audience support. A great man accepts defeat welcoming it in a sense cause it is what makes victory so sweet.
What a battle and, as usual, Djokovic is even more gracious in defeat than he is when he wins. Rafa, Nole and Fed- 20 Grand Slams each- they are equal-the term GOAT does not apply!

Djokovic should keep losing to Stan everyone once in a while, because every time he does, he wins a bunch of championships afterwards 😂 Thank you Stan! You are Novaks greatest motivator!
Funny how Stan doesn't feel nerves, or pressure, when facing Novak in a final, but Fed cracks like an egg, perhaps Fed needs to get some mental training from Stan, he should hire him as his sports psychologist.
@@t-one8657 Not really. He lost to Murray in 2013 thanks to the Del Po curse. He lost in 2012 to Murray because he played terrible in the wind compared to Murray. He lost to Wawrinka in 2015 primarily because of the scheduling. He somehow managed to get to the final here injured and out of form. Overall Djokovic plays finals well - if Stan and Djokovic were to play a final now or since 2018 Djokovic would have slaughtered him like he's done to most.

@Daniele V. Not now though, Nadal hasn't beaten Djokovic or Federer, outside hard court for years! He also struggles against Next Gen, so he's done on hc. The only shot he's got, is on clay next year.
Reason is because federer disrespected novak early on in novak's career..the 2011 us open semifinal was another one where federer did not acknowledge novak's victory and called it lucky
@@kavinraj4689 well even before that, Djokovic’s parents pronounced that the “king is dead” after he lost to him in AO 2008, so it’s no wonder those two didn’t get along.

Used to be though by this point. Novak Djokovic has a newer arch nemesis in Daniil Medvedev, who is 5-6 against him, a much better record than Stan Wawrinka against Novak. Stan Wawrinka is more a "has been" thing of the past, like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Two of them (in the past) is no big deal, especially when he is caught on an "off" day. The bigger picture is that Novak Djokovic is 19-6 against Stan Wawrinka, and ranked #1 versus #49. Yes, Wawrinka is extra tough sometimes, but he is no Novak Djokovic.
Stan Wawrinka:
-Won his first Grand Slam at 28 years old.
-In 4 finals, he won 3 times.
-He beat Novak Djokovic twice and Rafael Nadal once. He only lost once against Nadal and that was during the French Open, which is quite "normal".
In my opinion, Wawrinka is the most respectable player I've ever seen.

In term of level, there is the Big 3, Novak, Roger, Rafa, then there is the big guys, Wawrinka, Murray, Del Potro, then there are the consistent guys, Anderson, Isner, Cilic, Nishikori, Thiem, and then there is the wasted guys, Dimitrov, Raonic, Verdasco, Tsonga, Monfils, then there is the next gen, and then there is Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic
@@theobecquet8477 😂😂🤣🤣
I swear, I've heard more excited commentators on golf tournaments
Full match! Thank you! 🤓😱👻😊
Djokovic has to be one of the most gracious people when beaten and Wawrinka one of the calmest when winning.
Just watched the whole match over a two day period. First time I have watched since watching it live on TV in 2016. Great match by Wawrinka, really wore down Djokovic to the point of exhaustion. What I really find interesting is how Wawrinka could stand so far back on the US Open hardcourt and still be successful. He has the power to do it, I suppose as results have indicated, that policy is not really sustainable over a long period of time but he had enough to win this championship in 2016.
He has the power to do it consistently and also i think he doesnt really like playing near the base line and the ball on the rise hence the poor performances on grass.
Thats a pity for Stan He can't say it generally for his whole rivalry against Djokovič. Djokovič leads h2h against Wawrinka 19:6 .... Djokovič beated him 4times on GS.... Another fact is that Djokovič played with injured elbow on US open 2016 ... Went on surgery after months of pain. This was not prime healthy Djokovič.... This Djokovič was washed up ..
Stan he is big player big star.. awesome...love him.
STAN could have finished the last set at 6-0 if Novak didn't start the drama.
Novak always makes drama
@@covid-19coronavirus58 Right on!
"If if if doesn't exist"
@@Spacevet but Novak's drama exist
@@Bratin_Basu It sure does
peak stan > peak murray
I can't split between the two, Stan definitely does better against Djokovic though
stephen729 lol
Murray 3 slams 14 masters 2 Olympic singles golds 46 titles wtf 650 plus match wins
Wawrinka 3 slams 1 master 16 titles 400 plus match wins
Please try again moron. Murray’s a top 25 player In the open era. Wawrinka never even been number 1 you ponce
stephen729 Murray’s won the 8th most slam matches in the open era he’s also got the 5th most Australian open wins 7th most at Wimbledon and 10th most at the us open and that’s with a long injury. He’s also reach every slam final and has the 8th best open era match record. Lol stan can’t even beat him with a metal hip but you continue to believe your delusions fanboy
@@LordCaedus-bl7wi I disagree, Murray is more like a top 10 in Open Era history and would have been even higher were it not for the other 3. I know you know this already :).
Bee Zee well I wouldn’t put him top ten top twenty maybe.
wow.. how genuinely nole appreciated Wawrinka..great player with best attitude..
1:52:55 interesting strategy by Novak. Pretend like you've stopped the point. Look at the chair umpire like you want to review the line call. Then proceed to continue playing the point and confuse your opponent to play a bad shot.
Yup. That was very un professional. Ashamed of him.
That's why Fed and Nadal will always be above him
I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN THIS HATE ME IF YOU WANT TO BUT WHEN NOLE LOSES HE EITHER DOES THIS TYPE OF STUFF OR IS VERY OVER DRAMATIC ABOUT IT THATS THE REASON I DONT LIKE HIM AND HIS FANS ARE ALWAYS LIKE HE WAS INJURED AND STUFF BLA BLA BLA
That was really low....
19 gs keep whining
1:23:28 SO TRUE
LMAO
novak always show good attitude.no matter he lost or win.He always smile and say something for opponents.
Ich liebe einfach Stan, er hat so ein tolles Spiel drauf und es macht immer Spaß, ihm zuzuschauen....mein Favorit
Ein echter Champion 😘
Stan really had Djokovic's number back then.
Staminal.. kryptonite of Djokovic on slams
Looking at the 2019 US Open and how Joker retired before Wawrinka was going to win in straight sets you could see he was ready to tap out at 3-0 in the 4th set, BUT he didn’t to not look bad in quitting in a final.
Wawrinka missing due to injury has really benefitted Novak at the Slams. He’s the only one now whose game matches up so well.
Thiem too.
@@707ladytee yep at the French Open.
Wawrinka totally owning it
Encore aujourd'hui j'ai les frissons en regardant notre Stan national : quelle classe !
Stanimal!!!
Thanks ! i hope U soon upload Stan the man vs Del postro , Nkshikori! - Fan of the Man
hope for one final hurrah for stan
Lovely watching Novak was defeated by Champion Stan Wawrinka at the US Open 2016.
Stan needs more Grand Slams...... ❤
Stan he is a big star.prince.
Stan's backhand is beautiful
and unique.
Novak is demasiado humilde abrazando a su adversario, increíble persona y Stan es muy bárbaro cuando está jugando bien.
Wawrinka Ice Man!! Que jugador!! 💯🎾🇪🇨
Wawrinka's golden era
Djokovic pulled many fake injuries in his career - this was his best one ever.
Amazing! Can’t stand but support him so much. Djokovic is so reluctant in loosing. That’s why he’s great and also fears 20% audience support. A great man accepts defeat welcoming it in a sense cause it is what makes victory so sweet.
Faking injury when losing is just part of Novak's style. Stan would not be distracted here
It's super weird but I totally forgot Wawrinka got 3 grand slam and not just 1. From a Federer fan, I'm super happy for him
Wawrinka Djokovic was epic matchup,Tennis paradise
Why am I sitting here at 10 minutes till midnight watching a two and a half year old match? Get a life MrTim.
What a battle and, as usual, Djokovic is even more gracious in defeat than he is when he wins.
Rafa, Nole and Fed- 20 Grand Slams each- they are equal-the term GOAT does not apply!
If grand slams is what you think that counts....then Serena Williams is the GOAT. Remove titles and you just can't beat Federer. Take that!!
@@dhananjayverma2120 Serena Williams plays women's tennis, a completely different sport if you ask me... The men just play on another level... Not to take away from her incredible accomplishments but you can't really compare her to the big 3
Djokovic smiling in the cover pic is so cute 😍
2 Gran Slam para Wawrinka , son pocos !!!!
He won 3
I would dare say he was the true 4th of the big four
US Open Tennis Championships
....Djokovic vs nadal US OPEN 2011 please
aRE YOU TALKIn to me?
Seems like Stan doesn’t give a damn about the trophy 😂💛
every single time novak starts to lose he pulls out the injury card and takes a lot of credit away from the opposition. annoying
Ross Bennett thats not true, you dont mention his dominance every match, you think its easy playing on that level?
@@jungeballer no its not easy at all, he is an incredible player, that said he has a tendency to retire when he's going to lose and its really frustrating. I think he's so unused to losing that when it happening he just wants to get off the court.
Coz he cannot beat peak Stan and he knows it
E X A C T L Y
Jimnosnow 4 😂😂😂😂 check the head to head you dope. This peak stan thing is hilarious guys best season is 55-18 😂😂😂😂 Djokovic beat him 20 plus times that’s all that matters
What are the commentators doing ?! I thought they were sleeping
Thank you US Open!!
If he had been more consistent, Djokovic wouldnt even have won 20 slams. He is Djokovics nightmarw.
Imagine telling Djokovic at the start of 2016, you will win 2 Grand Slams, reach the final of a 3rd, but will not finish the year as #1.
How did he not finish number 1,how did Murray managed to knock him from no 1? Did Murray play too many tournaments or something like that.
@@leo99991 Djokovic went downhill in every tournaments after winning the French open
It’s normal. Murray made 3 finals too, winning one as well as a quarter final in the other. Then won 3 masters and the Tour Finals. Fair enough if you ask me
@@leo99991 Only the points from 12 (I think) count so its only best efforts that get the points to stop someone from competing in every tournament to get a high ranking
Murray did win the ATP finals, and the Olympics, which he didn't even get ranking points for..
Stan is somewhat unique, 3 Slams,, 1 Masters 1000.. 16 Titles.. Hall A Famer no doubt.. Last Slam Final Novak lost to date.. After AO 2020 Final.. Won last 5.. Stan last Final was French Open 2017 lost to Nadal.. Last 14 Slams won by 30 Something's.. Andy Murray was last 20 Something to win A Slam 2016 Wimbledon beating Milos..
Fed Fan but I don't think any body can beat Nole right now except Stan so I hope that Stan gets Nole in future GSs. Otherwise monster nole is on rampage
Now the new generation of under 30's are taking over and teens on the WTA tour!
Federer would never lose in a Grand Slam final against Wawrinka, Murray or Medvedev.
How I wish Wawrinka won Wimbledon 2022. 🤞
What an actor Djokovic is!...
The actor has all the Grand Slam titles double.
@@borisbalta2542 But didn't have a single Olympic medal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stan didn't. Even wait to finish his name. He was so happy.
Wawrinkas A game would beat anyone elses A game.
Stan is the only player Novak can't beat Stan's backhand is the best
Is Holger Rune at 18:56 ???
WInning a GS having the 3 goats playing at the same time should count double
Djokovic should keep losing to Stan everyone once in a while, because every time he does, he wins a bunch of championships afterwards 😂 Thank you Stan! You are Novaks greatest motivator!
Novak always humble in losing. Can you imaginr federer doing this what Novak is doing at the end of match?
Why so many Djokovic fans are so obsessed with whatever Federer does?
@@Balfour. when Federer lose he cries like little baby 😭😂
We talking about a guy that says bad words towards the spectators all the time?
Yees definitely a man to look up to
Well Roger and Stan are really good friends, so yes. Tennis "fans" comparing shit between these two once again
Blagoje R you’re a moron
Funny how Stan doesn't feel nerves, or pressure, when facing Novak in a final, but Fed cracks like an egg, perhaps Fed needs to get some mental training from Stan, he should hire him as his sports psychologist.
Even not stable playing but big points stan played better, that’s what make difference and keep confidence even lost first set.
I love Novak my idol in tennis court. Mhua!
Djokovic has had some head scratching final loses, it has to be frustrating to be his fan at times knowing how great he is?
@@t-one8657 Not really. He lost to Murray in 2013 thanks to the Del Po curse. He lost in 2012 to Murray because he played terrible in the wind compared to Murray. He lost to Wawrinka in 2015 primarily because of the scheduling. He somehow managed to get to the final here injured and out of form. Overall Djokovic plays finals well - if Stan and Djokovic were to play a final now or since 2018 Djokovic would have slaughtered him like he's done to most.
@@GameOvais well I'm a djoker fan but tbh it's so childish to find excuses for his losses lol, it's just simple that at times the opponent play better than him.
@@GameOvais great excuses but when these things happen for his opponents he suddenly becomes a great player..don't be so desperate to support your joker's losses
Novak has made many players life a misery, if Stan didn't stop him twice, he'd be on 21+ slams already!
@Daniele V. Not now though, Nadal hasn't beaten Djokovic or Federer, outside hard court for years! He also struggles against Next Gen, so he's done on hc. The only shot he's got, is on clay next year.
@@pauljohnson6019 this didn't age well
@@tennistankRF haaha i love this
Lol look at the congratulations Novak gives to Stan at the net at the end.
He would never do that to Federer if he won! The tension between them real.
Reason is because federer disrespected novak early on in novak's career..the 2011 us open semifinal was another one where federer did not acknowledge novak's victory and called it lucky
@@kavinraj4689 well even before that, Djokovic’s parents pronounced that the “king is dead” after he lost to him in AO 2008, so it’s no wonder those two didn’t get along.
stan in beast mode cant be beaten by any djoker
Djokovič leads h2h against Wawrinka 19:6 .... Djokovič beated him 4times on GS... I think your hypotezis is not 100%.... ☹️ .... Another fact is that Djokovič played with injured elbow on US open 2016 ... Went on surgery after months of pain. And if Wawrinka can be in beast mode only two times....... In his career.. IT points out that his beast mode is more random than consistent....... 🙂

Stan Wawrinka was one of Novak Djokovic's toughest outs over the years.
Stan is Nole's arch Nemesis. He will always obliterate those hands of his without any mercy with his powerful backhand.
Used to be though by this point.
Novak Djokovic has a newer arch nemesis in Daniil Medvedev, who is 5-6 against him, a much better record than Stan Wawrinka against Novak.
Stan Wawrinka is more a "has been" thing of the past, like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
@@jimbotc2000 In majors Wawrinka owns Djoko man.
Two of them (in the past) is no big deal, especially when he is caught on an "off" day.
The bigger picture is that Novak Djokovic is 19-6 against Stan Wawrinka, and ranked #1 versus #49.
Yes, Wawrinka is extra tough sometimes, but he is no Novak Djokovic.
What a match jokovic become ash infront of stan's aggresive forehand and powerfuls shots hahahah😂😂😂
Whenever joker loses I feel extremely happy..an idiot..he has taken success into his head.. arrogant guy
