Ahhh yes. The legendary 2015 RG Wawrinka shorts. But truth be told, Stan Wawrinka really made his presence felt from 2013 to 2016. That one-handed backhand of his is up there in the pantheon of tennis shots.
Best thing about Stan is "I A WOMAN NOVAK STYLE"....does NOT work on Stan. Novack can no more tire out then bore to tears Stan than he could a PRE-35 FEDERER!
What I really love about Stan is his ability to hang in the points till he gets a ball he can rip. One shot is enough for him to turn the point around against anyone, and he makes sure he stays in the point for long enough till he gets such a ball. He slices, he defends, and hangs in there. He doesn't need to be in position or neutralise the attack, if he can find a ball that isn't at the absolute end of his range in terms of width and height, it's all over. For that 3-4 year period between AO13 and FO17, he had excellent runs in most majors, and during that time, he had the ability to play at this level (or close to it) fairly consistently. I watched this match on TV when it aired, and I told my father I think Wawrinka's gonna win this tournament, no one can survive against this kind of power. It was a pleasure to watch him play this whole tournament.

@@masters.1000 I like Jim Courier, doesn’t use cliches. Tries to discuss tactics and subtle changes players make during a match. Expressions like Kyrridiculous, PhenomeNadal etc are a waste of time/words.
Tennis broadcast in USA is terrible, the guys can't stop talking. I lived there 10 years ago and got to a point where I would turn off the TV sound to not have to hear John McEnroe, Mary Carillo and the likes of them. And yes, Jim Courier is better than the rest.
It was a match for that for the first time in many years Federer couldn't even break his opponent's serve even once in a slam loss... Stan was unstoppable that day
yaa I agree, there are few matches like these where Fed was just outclassed, I guess, one was SF against Marin Cilic in USO 2013... Cilic then lifted the trophy, one is against this wawrinka, another one is that painful 2008 RG Final against Nadal... that is the truly devastating loss of Roger.
Again wrong. This Wawrinka on GOD Mode cannot, i repeat CANNOT beat Prime Nadal on Chatrier(2008Roland Garros Nadal) That Nadal was a machine and no player in history would have beaten him,not even 2010Nadal,2013Nadal or any other Nadal.
In the beginning of his career here in Switzerland I was basically the only guy saying that Wawrinka would be once top ten and perhaps number 1 in the world. People used to say that “he can’t play tennis”. I saw in playing in Gstaad when he got a wildcard. He played exactly like he did when he won against Federer here, but only one set, and lost the match. I was chocked with the intensity of his game, especially the backhand down the line. I never saw something like this before. He had in this time the same attitude like Eubank before his breakthrough, going all the time for winners. When he learned to be more patient he got top 50, and later top five. He his my favorite player (together with Kuerten, of course: the same powerful backhand). Right now he is doing great again 30 July 2023).
Fun fact: Federer’s last Grand Slam run before his beloved streak of dominance was the French Open 2003 Men’s Singles Championship; at this time, Wawrinka was busy winning the French Open 2003 *BOYS’* Singles Championship!

Are you serious? RG 2015 final performance from Stan is arguably regarded as the best performance by any tennis player and I am 100% sure 99.9% of tennis fans will agree except you obviously.
Stan would have beat 2015 Nadal, but no chance against prime Nadal. The only times Stan beat Nadal were either: - when he was injured(AO 14) - In 2015, in Nadals worst year and was a shadow of himself. Stan was a great player, but the facts are he was embarrassingly owned by both Federer and Nadal throughout his career.
@@jacobschmidt2709 I agree with you on two things fedal own Wawrinka in terms of head 2 head and he tends to struggle with them and of course 2015 was Nadal’s worst year. What I don’t agree is you saying Stan beat Rafa in 2014 AO final because he was injured. No way Rafa would’ve won that match even if he was at his best. He was getting outplayed from start to finish. Only reason he won a set is he started limping and distracted Stan that is why he was able to win. It would’ve probably been a straight sets win for Stan even if Rafa wasn’t injured.
RF's defensive slice let him down big time here. As soon as the ball checked up Wawrinka was all of it in this match . Such an amazing tournament from Stan takes out Roger and Novak
Best thing about Stan is "I A WOMAN NOVAK STYLE"....does NOT work on Stan. Novack can no more tire out then bore to tears Stan than he could a PRE-35 FEDERER!
That 2015 RG Stan was a man possessed, i remember the guy was just smashing almost every ball on the line against novak in the final, probably the highest level ive seen on clay other than rafa ofc
Wawrinka at his most fearsome always makes me wonder why he never won more Slams. One of Federer's great tributes to Stan is that he hates having to play against him. They are both Swiss. It's like a betrayal having to play against one of his own. Apologies if that sounds clumsy. Even Federer struggles to explain it.
@joohan I suspect there's a little bit of mental block for Stan on defeating a higher ranked, more renowned kinsman at play here. I've seen him choke unexpectedly when appeared to be winning.
Stan has the one of the highest ceilings you'll ever see but accessing that ceiling is difficult. Similarly to Venus. A on, 100% Venus has no equal not even Serena but she couldn't access that level regularly.
This was probably Federer’s best year at the French Open of the past decade, (who knows how he could have done in 2017 and 2018 tho) but the Stanimal was just on fire. Maybe just maybe if Stan wasn’t there Roger would have been the first man ever to win two of each Grand Slam.
@@RazOls Yes that is very true, he did play well in 2019. I actually had a chance to buy his kit (and/or Nishikori’s) from that year while in a UNI QLO store in Paris!
I think 2011 was his best. That Final against Nadal could have gone either if federer didn't played those casual drop shot on set points in the 1st set. 2011 F0 final was the most challenging Final Nadal has ever played.
idc what they say for me Wawrinka has the best backhand ever. And also the true big 4th. Plus Wawrinka did one of the hardset things in tennis history which is beating prime Nole in the Australian Open.
Stan was fantastic to watch when on song, much more dynamic than Djoker or Nadal. Unfortunately he only showed his very best form fleetingly. When he was on top form neither Fed, nor Nole nor Nadal could live with him (aside from on grass).
@@anujjyothykumar4667 Yeah, it's so much easier, and make sense haha. Also my wrist had bit problem, Tennis style is more easy on my wrist, i try learning badminton technique, And create my Own Hybrid style haha, Easy on my wrist yet powerful enough
Ive always felt that Stan, like Serena, could have added 15-20% with just a 5-7lb weight loss. Knowing that a guy as talented as Stan only beat King Fed in a GS once...and it was on clay...speaks to the Greatness of Fed. I figure the only faced each other 3 times in Slams?
I dunno man, peak rafa at RG would have probably won against him, like in 17. If Rafa’s forehand is in shape there is not so much you can do, specially if you are right handed and have a one handed backhand, the ball jumps with such topsin and it’s hard to hit it one handed. But it would be very very pleasing to watch.
@@Antopiace I agree , it's not about the level , but the style , Rafa's style is just dominating single handed backhanded ,2017 Nadal would trash this Wawrinka

Rafael Nadal is unrivalled and brutal player at French open he extremely dangerous and aggressive player. He doesn't play he Punishes and destroy the players. Many players tried to defeat Nadal except Djokovic and Soderling all failed only He tears down the soul of players who face Rafael Nadal at French open. He is 👑 of Red clay mostly Djokovic faced Rafael Nadal 10 times at French open lost 8 times. Rafael Nadal ruled Red clay and French open for many years and won 14 French open titles actually only injuries and Djokovic can defeat Nadal that also very rare cases. The bones will get dislocated against Rafael Nadal it is his domain OK he won't give it to others at any cost Only Djokovic have strength to play Rafael Nadal at French open mostly. He Proved it twice which is big thing Federer is not capable of defeating Nadal at French open also Rafael Nadal have 14 French open titles and he will definitely try to win 15th major title in 2023 mostly Playing French open and defeating Rafael Nadal is like climbing MT Everest or walking on Mercury planet
Rafael Nadal is unrivalled and brutal at French open. Novak Djokovic is unrivalled at Wimbledon and Australian open also Playing Rafael Nadal is like fighting Death eaters or dark wizards in real at Same time. Only Bjorn Borg and Novak Djokovic have strength to stand against Rafael Nadal on Red clay.
U guys don't know shit about court speeds. Its literally just because of the type of players playing. And yes it isn't sunny so it is less bouncy than if it was.
Well, it turned out for good. If only Murray hadn't dissapear in the middle of the final in 2016, or Nadal wasn't injured for that matter, Đoković wouldn't have a single RG.
@@andrejmitrovic4958 ¿Injured? He wasn't. Nadal by definition has always something going on, but he was playing fine. In fact, his major bothering was a cold. Söderling is still the only one to beat him fair and square.
@@masters.1000 Yeah true, if Nadal was really injured he wouldn't have played or would have given up, like he always does when he is injured. That being said: Federer and Djokovic both lucked out a bit not facing Nadal in the finals when they won RG.
I wonder if Stan lost 20 lbs would he had have a better career. He might have lost something in his backhand but gained my foot speed. He's just a step too slow. So Stan has always been geared for slower courts. And big sweeping swings just doesn't help on fast surfaces. That's just life and there's nothing you can do about it.
So,what happened is- Fed 2014 Us open Fed 2015 RG Same thing happened,Roger basically ran into a two unplayable guys at the moment. Cilic wiped him off the court same way Wawrinka did here. Both times straight sets,he was totally dominated,outpowered. Also ,i see many people say this Wawrink is unbeatable. Yes ,he is unbeatable and almost unplayable,but even this god mode wawrink would not be able to beat prime Nadal on chatrier. There is no way. For example,2008Roland Garros Nadal would absolutely destroy even this 2015Roland Garros Wawrinka.
This is one of the wasted opportunities of Feds career. If he wins this match, I think he has a great chance of winning his second French open. I think he was too reserved because it’s his country man, he let it get to his head. I know it was 3-0, but I felt like it could have been a completely different match if Roger played his game.
Interesting fact: Federer is the person who made Djokovic a GOAT. Because many times Federer would eliminate Stan and then go on to lose to Djokovic in a humiliating fashion. Had he not eliminated Stan, Stan would go and destroy Djokovic. Djokovic got 3-4 extra slams because of the services Federer did for him in semifinals and quarterfinals by removing Stan … Federer’s backhand is a disgrace …
Federercwas so useless. He would play out of his mind to stop Wawrinka, then would go to lose to Djokovic completely pants down . If Stan advanced, he would always have a bigger chance than Novak to win … anytime Federer was absent , Wawrinka managed to stop djokovic … Federer is an overrated player , champion of truly weak era …
Ahhh yes. The legendary 2015 RG Wawrinka shorts.
But truth be told, Stan Wawrinka really made his presence felt from 2013 to 2016. That one-handed backhand of his is up there in the pantheon of tennis shots.

stan was just unplayable. what a raw display of power. and the windy conditions only made it worse for rog.
Did Roger gave that point at 3 all in breaker ??or the umpire did it.
Yeah he did
@@RazOls then it is the best example of sportsmenship
12:58 Just wait and see what happens in a few days, Mister ;D
when is the last time Federer failed to break opponent's serve in a match?
Student becomes the teacher?
The thing with Wawrinka is you never know if he decides to become a man on a mission in a tournament.
Stan was standing on the lines more than federer at this game
The clay seems really fast, here in 2015, compared to other years.
Stupid excuses for sure
U guys don't know shit about court speeds. Its literally just because of the type of players playing. And yes it isn't sunny so it is less bouncy than if it was.
5:32 lol
Not just GS but Monte Carlo as well, fed would have if it weren't for Stan
I love the Swiss. I love one-hand backhands. I love Roger. I love Stan. I love clay.
And I love the fact that Stan and I have the same birthday 😂
*Sad Dustin brown noises*
Isn't that also the day Federer and Nadal played for the first time?
Federer has a birthday 1 day before my mom
Also the only time Fed fell down lol
Prime Wawrinka was as deadly as Prime Nadal and Prime Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Well, it turned out for good.
If only Murray hadn't dissapear in the middle of the final in 2016, or Nadal wasn't injured for that matter, Đoković wouldn't have a single RG.
If Nadal wasn't injured, Federer wouldn't have a single RG🗿🗿💀💀
@@andrejmitrovic4958 ¿Injured? He wasn't.
Nadal by definition has always something going on, but he was playing fine. In fact, his major bothering was a cold.
Söderling is still the only one to beat him fair and square.
@@masters.1000 Yeah true, if Nadal was really injured he wouldn't have played or would have given up, like he always does when he is injured. That being said: Federer and Djokovic both lucked out a bit not facing Nadal in the finals when they won RG.
@@SHVideografie That's why Söderling is the greatest of all time.
@@masters.1000 So true. Taming the bull in his prime!
Federer thought that Stan would beat Novak
And stand did forced out some tear drops from novaks eyes in that final.
He played Roger like 3253 times. Congratulations
I wonder if Stan lost 20 lbs would he had have a better career. He might have lost something in his backhand but gained my foot speed. He's just a step too slow. So Stan has always been geared for slower courts. And big sweeping swings just doesn't help on fast surfaces. That's just life and there's nothing you can do about it.
So,what happened is-
Fed 2014 Us open
Fed 2015 RG
Same thing happened,Roger basically ran into a two unplayable guys at the moment.
Cilic wiped him off the court same way Wawrinka did here.
Both times straight sets,he was totally dominated,outpowered.
Also ,i see many people say this Wawrink is unbeatable.
Yes ,he is unbeatable and almost unplayable,but even this god mode wawrink would not be able to beat prime Nadal on chatrier.
There is no way.
For example,2008Roland Garros Nadal would absolutely destroy even this 2015Roland Garros Wawrinka.
Stan here was just too much to handle
2015 Federer was better than 2017 Federer, you can't change my mind.
For me too.
What a Roger umbelievable season.
Any evidences?
2017 Federer was something else.
@@ferguson7128 no evidence at all.
Maybe just the clay.
But I think in 2015 he played the best quality of his career.
@@davfar2 no stats say a different thing. The first half of 2017 gave us some of his best clutch performances.
@@davfar2 I agree his tennis was good, but he upped his level in 2017 in every category.
This Federer guy, can he play? Four minutes into this and I am not sure...
compare this congrats from Fed with those from Djoko in the final ...
Love Stan, he was dynamite a while ago, unlike other narcs who have to prove an egotistical point!!!!!🙄🙄
This is one of the wasted opportunities of Feds career. If he wins this match, I think he has a great chance of winning his second French open. I think he was too reserved because it’s his country man, he let it get to his head. I know it was 3-0, but I felt like it could have been a completely different match if Roger played his game.
Interesting fact: Federer is the person who made Djokovic a GOAT. Because many times Federer would eliminate Stan and then go on to lose to Djokovic in a humiliating fashion. Had he not eliminated Stan, Stan would go and destroy Djokovic. Djokovic got 3-4 extra slams because of the services Federer did for him in semifinals and quarterfinals by removing Stan … Federer’s backhand is a disgrace …
it's gotta be the shorts
The shorts... the shorts!
And then got his rear side handed to him in 2019 lol
Federers forehand got so horrible after 2011ish. This match was so poor
*Ненавижу грунт. Грунт - это издевательство над теннисом.*
Почему?
When Stan was in his prime he could achieve a level that maybe only Djoker could rival when he was playing his best.
No only rafa is tough matchup for prime stan.. Wawrinka is tough matchup and nightmare for Djokovic especially in slams
Try again, fail better.👍👍👍
Federercwas so useless. He would play out of his mind to stop Wawrinka, then would go to lose to Djokovic completely pants down . If Stan advanced, he would always have a bigger chance than Novak to win … anytime Federer was absent , Wawrinka managed to stop djokovic … Federer is an overrated player , champion of truly weak era …
