He played very good last year, run out of steam in the second set in the quarters for whatever reason.

Didn't really think he ran out of steam, just the ball's low bounce on grass and the faster movement through the court doesn't give him time to set up his backhand. He was beaten because he was less good. Clay is Wawrinka's best surface for a reason; QF is his best ever Wimbledon result and even Janowicz has done better than that.

Stan and Murray has the same amount of GS lol

Murray is still much better.

 

[Diprosalic]

French are salty, first he destroys their DC hopes now he wins it all on their court beating Tsonga along the way.

majors count isn't a reward for consistency.

to be fair, prior to this year QF was also his best French Open result

I also still hold that Tsonga is better. Wawrinka has now won 19% of his matches against Djokovic; Tsonga has won 46%. The only difference is that if Tsonga beat Djokovic, then Nadal or Murray or Federer would be waiting. These days, it's only really Djokovic and Murray, and Wawrinka didn't even have to play Murray.

At this rate he will overtake Murray

meanwhile Fed laughs, career GS is no joke

Federer remained consistent and I think the scheduling didn't work out in Wawrinka's favor.

QF was his best FO result too and last year he lost in the first round.

At the end of a players career that is what is looked at most though. No matter how good Murray has been.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Woah Guga spent the last 10 years in the same time machine as Keanu Reeves it seems. He hasn't aged since he last won RG.

 

[Smellycat]

From first round to FO champion!

 

[John Dunbar]

djokovic still not have won two slams in a row since AO2012. tsk tsk.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Yeah, but that was sort of surprising. Like, I always thought Wawrinka underperformed at RG; clay is clearly his best surface - it accounts for both of his only two masters, for example. His QF appearance at Wimbledon was, on the other hand, a pretty accurate reflection of his level of play.

 

[miserable]

another silver tray for Nole, he can serve those baguettes on them

 

[Diprosalic]

Fed took a while and many beatings too.
He'll get it, he's just too good.

helps that the upcoming generation stays a joke.

Who's this tall dude

in all honesty i can see him getting another this year.

 

[scarlet]

Nole

 

[ghstwrld]

nole is 8-8 in major finals

mess

Exactly. If murray pushes djokovic to five at roland garros (lol), what do you think he'll do to him at Wimbledon?

 

[Diprosalic]

From first round to FO champion!

Federer did that for his first ever GS title at Wimby.

 

[John Dunbar]

djokovic has a pretty good "i've made a huge mistake" face.

Pretty sure MC'14 is his only MS1000 title.

Why it's Gustavo Kuerten, 3 time winner of the French Open!

 

[killer_clank]

what does this do to the rankings btw? how long can fed stay second?

 

[Diprosalic]

he moves up to 4.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I swore he won MC '09. Did he not win '09?

...fuck, he didn't win '09. Well, there you go then. Still, clay accounts for 100% of his masters regardless.

 

[mcfrank]

Enjoy your plate, djoker. You suck.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Great match from wawrinka. That was some of the best shot making I've seen

 

[scarlet]

Stan #4
Kei #5
Nadal #10

 

[BlindCommunication]

Nole crying as well as Fed and Murray did.

 

[Smellycat]

Djokovic

 

[greenleaves]

Crowd giving Djokovic a lot of deserved respect.

 

[John Dunbar]

pick the excuse for djokovic fans:

scheduling
fixed draw
long semi
all of the above

 

[zero_suit]

 

[mcfrank]

Put a sock in it. This is making me ill.

 

[Lionel Richie]

STAN THE FUCKING MAN! This feels like that year where Soderling should have won, or that Australian Open that Tsonga had in the bag. It's nice when the other guy win.

 

[Diprosalic]

i like the effort but the french is rough.

 

[Rainy Dog]

Amazing display of attacking tennis. Well-deserved win.

Exactly. I've hated how successful brick wall, counter punching tennis has been for Nadal, Djokovic and Murray over the past few years on these slower courts.

Stan pulling this off, playing like he did has been glorious to watch today.

 

[Magicgamer101]

Enjoy your plate, djoker. You suck.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[patapuf]

i like the effort but the french is rough.

I think he speaks great french for a non-native speaker. Certainly much better than i'd have expected.

 

[sam777]

Djokovic must be thinking what does he have to do to win the French.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Swiss French, isn't it?

 

[Smellycat]

Federer congratulated Wawrinka on Twitter! With a picture too lol

 

[Diprosalic]

Swiss French, isn't it?

Stan yes (it's pretty much the same as 'normal' french tho), but i meant Djoker.

 

[darkwing]

Djokovic must be thinking what does he have to do to win the French.

Fed took several tries

Eating a toblerone in honor of Stan.
