Having confidence doesn't hurt. But tennis is all about MATCH-UP. Wawrinka is the cleanest ball hitter on tour. His forehand and backhand swings are as a simple as they come. At his peak, making no errors, he is basically a baseline sledgehammer. Lock and loaded the moment he sees the ball come. Watch his swings. There is no wrist movement until after he's hit the ball. Guess what happens if you give Wawrinka a ball machine. He eats it up. And a ball-machine is basically who Novak is. Novak is probably the greatest to play tennis because he has the consistency of a machine. His balls land consistently on the baseline pushing everyone back. Doesn't matter for Stan. He feeds off Novak's machine-like consistency and he'll just make up the difference with more power. Novak's crosscourt backhand and forehand are the stuff of nightmares for tennis players. When he changes direction going down the line, he throws almost everyone off. Doesn't matter for Stan. He can out-angle Novak's bread and butter cross court shots, and he doesn't have to run around his backhand like Fed or Rafa. He can just slam the backhand anywhere on the court and win the point. Watch the FO final between Novak and Stan. It's the stuff of dreams for any tennis fan. Now, throw Fed's variation vs Wawrinka and you end up with a 20-3 H2H between the two in Fed's favor.
The amount of times I have seen Stan gets broken, then breaks back, and then come back to win the set against NOVAK DJOKOVIC is just incredible. At a Grand Slam too. No one else has this much confidence against Djokovic. Not even Fedal.
any one who knws novak knws how he play how react his body language everythn... nd i knw him well ..from the frst ball hit..he was not in hismood ..i knew smthn was wrong... he never did fist pump when he win good points which he usally did vs stan.. he ddnt even motivated for that this time.. but poorly that poor corwd ddnt knw novak...am happy i knw him.. wish u all to knw him...

I think one of the reasons djokovic struggled with Stan is that Stan has the power and accurate backhand and also brave enough to go down the line to djokovics forehand
Djokovic is predictable in the way he plays and does give you time on the ball. He doesn't have any awkward shots (like Medvedev) and he doesn't rush you like Federer. It all sits very nicely for Wawrinka and he starts to see the ball very big.
I have absolutely no tennis ambition and play the game no differently then self stimming by taking a walk or bouncing a ball 100 times a row against the wall..... -Skankhunt42
Regardless of h2h when u haven't been consistent it's flourishing when it matters most where u will be remembered and Stan will always be remembered for going toe to toe and prevailing against the big 3 in finals. Defeating Novak for the French and US and Nadal for the AO and Fed for the Monte Carlo masters. Stan honestly has more credibility than all these next gen players who r hyped up put together. It's hard to see any of them attain as many GS as he did.
I didn't see any injury when Nole was winning on 2nd set, neither 1st set. Weird. All I can say, what a player Stan is when he's focused on winning, he is that kind of player who can win against anyone, no matter how good they are. A total beast!

I always thought that one of the most under appreciated parts of Wawrinkas arsenal is his accurate and powerful first serves. His first serves got him out of trouble in many key moments in this match.
I miss Wawrinka... He was the only one able to tame an in form Djokovic. He will remain one of the most underrated players, both in terms of playing ability and character.
He did, everyone did he just didn't had the mental toughness... But if he did, he'd probably have 5-7 gs under his best.... I find him to be bettet than Murray when he is at his best... Hence, he probably is better than anyone at his very best ..
Stan is officially the Achilles heels of Djokovich. He will always obliterate him with out hesitation, and Djoko cannot do anything at all. Djokovic’s great talent is from corner to corner, but Stan can easily return with that subliminal backhand. 👏 😎
Yeah that's not really Wawrinka's personality. He was clearly watching Djoko to see his condition. Just look at how slowly Djokovic was moving to the chair there.

Man, Djokovic has dominated the last 10 years of tennis and has positive H2Hs with Nadal and Federer etc in that time and yet every time he’s played Stan in a grand slam it’s looked like he’s barely hanging on. He must be secretly thanking his lucky star that they’ve only had this one best-of-5 match in the past 5 years
It's strange how Stan gives Novak so much trouble, as a Nadal fan whenever it's a hard court GS I always look at the draw and hope that Rafa's on the opposite side to Novak and that Stan's on Novak's side!
Match ups in playing styles are a thing in tennis. Adjusting them is another different ball game that seperates legends from another based on consistency day in day out.
Nadal almost never plays in the same half as Djokovic because they have been ranked 1 and 2 since 2010 they are guaranteed to be in separate halves, what the hell are you talking about?
Gherbi Hicham You’re not very smart are you? They’re saying that they always hope, at hardcourt majors, that Stan is in Novak’s half because then it’s much more likely that Rafa won’t have to face Novak in the Final. And this makes perfect sense for a Nadal fan, as Rafa hasn’t beaten Novak at a major in 5 years, and hasn’t beaten him on harcourt in 6 years. If there is one guy who Rafa should never want to face off of clay, it’s Djokovic. And Stan is the most likely guy to prevent that from happening. There obviously has been 1 exception- 2013. That was the 1 time that Rafa managed to beat a prime Djoko at a Major outside of Roland Garros. For whatever reason, Rafa has never been able to find that form against Novak on hard or grass since then.
Love Wawrinka’s game. When he’s on, he’s so solid and aesthetic. His serve always reminds me of a scorpion strike. If only he sliced a little more and drop shotted to keep his opponents even more off balance. His serve return was also a weak point as he mostly opts to chip it back. Still a lovely player. Hope to see him back in this form again
I don't know much about Tennis but there is something unique about Warwinka's game. Roger Novak Rafa, GOATs etc... I get it, sure. But Warwinka is special.
Novak is a legend but one thing I don't like about him is the amount of times he's retired from matches. Retiring takes the credit away from the opponent and he only retired once he knew Stan was going to win.
Yea, I play tennis tournaments in the drooling heat and a lot of opponents I play against retire when they know their going to lose but, who am I to say? I would do the same thing

@@j2theosh6969 🤣Stan is up 4:0 in Slam since 2014 obviously that's not luck. Stan have something others don't have. His down the line back hand to Novak's forenad is brutal. I think that's also maybe the way Novak hit his back hand slightly flat and stay lower which seem to set up Warwrinka's back hand perfectly. Also Stan is not one trick pony he have weapons serves can be big and crushing forehand too. You can't beat the GOAT with one trick. Look what happened to Berittini in Wimbledon's final. Just accept and embrace Stanimal and the beast he is. 😏
Wawrinka is the true nemesis of Djokovic. He seems to bring out his A-game every time he turns up against Djokovic, especially during the business end of the tournament.
@@wstew but before that too he never got the same applause as say someone like fedrer or even nadal. even though hes on the same level as far as talent goes.
That BH is gold. The best for me in male tennis. I would chose single handed power backhand to double. It helps change direction so easily. And his BH has venom and dip on both flanks
My biggest disappointment in the US Open was Warwinka, don't get me wrong I'm now a converted Medvedev fan but would love to have seen Stan on an American hardcourt play Nadal..
Nadal is 18-3 vs Wawrinka, two out of the three Wawrinka wins came in the worst season for Nadal in 2015 and one came at final of the Australian Open 2014 where Nadal was clearly playing with an injury averaging 80 mile per hour serves and not running down anything from the second set until the end. Nadal is probably the worst type of player for Wawrinka.
That’s the difference between Novak and Fed. Novak gives up and retires a dozen times in his career in key matches with any injury. Fed keeps going and finishes the match win or lose.
TheNitrohp Must be Serbian. Nobody else cares. Federer changed the game. No matter how many grand slams Novak wins, he will always be a kiss ass, say nothing boring player to watch. Stan the man is more exciting to watch playing cards. Novak fans know that Fed is the king of tennis. Sampras was more influential than Novak.
Tell me who doesn't care about it. It can only be people like you, who watch or decide the quality of matches seeing their level in the tournament and not the players who play. Whatever the stage be, djokovic Vs wawrinka is one of the best battles on the planet

Outlasting Novak in long rallies and forcing *HIM* to make errors is probably the one big indication for the other player that he should fancy his chances and go for the win on the day against the legend that is Novak Djokovic.
It's dangerous to play with an injury (especially at the professional level) because you can injure yourself more and then recovery time is even longer so it was probably the right choice for Djokovic.
InterKOT i just feel like he could’ve played but not gone all out and risk injury. being so close to winning and then winning by “default” takes so much deserved credit away from stan. especially since this was stan’s comeback and djokovic was nearly unbeatable. on paper it’ll just look like novak was too injured to play and any player would’ve won regardless.
Jason Zhang i didn’t tell him how to play.. i told him how he could give more respect to his opponent. he’s always talking about respect isn’t he? i’m not acting like i could give him tennis lessons
He can fool around chokers like Theim and Fed. Not Stan.. Stan the man who beat him to clinch his 3 gs titles (though 2014 at the SF).. His faking tactics won't work against him.. When the tour return this faker must face Stan for early exit in all GS's except Wimbledon

Soundgarden97 his 'shoulder injury' lol, ok now where did he get this 'injury' of his?...not at least by playing tennis. It was his left shoulder, non hitting arm. Was it injured by tossing the ball lol. Shoulder injuries arise almost solely to the hitting arm from too many overheads and hard smashes...everyone who plays tennis knows this. It was a fake injury, he has done this acting even before. But hey I didn't pay those expensive tickets to watch that match so it's all good man 😀. It's just very naive to think he had a shoulder injury, Novak played with full force 2 solid sets, then when Stan again broke his serve Nole just suddenly packed his gear and went off the court. If he was injured, his game would have been way off and would have propably lost those 2 first sets like 6-0, 6-1 etc
@@mickeyguide3112 Oh so you now say its the left shoulder? I thought you said he was faking the injury so why does it matter to a clown like you? You seem very sure of yourself anyway.

@@TeresasSweets What has heat got to do with this match? Nothing. Novak was carrying a little injury but nothing serious. He could have let Stan finish the match. He knew about the injury a week before the match. Instead he took the coward way out.
@@kieranrankie203 I mean that retiring is just a way of saying that you're too tired to play but, instead of taking the time to actually finish the match they can retire and take the credit away from you the easy way
Joko is the best actor in hollywood😂
The guy who has done maximum damage to Djokovic's career
And defeated djokovic in his peak 2 times. 2015 french open and 2016 us open.
@@arslaanpasha3334 2014 Melbourne also
For Federer it’s Nadal and for Nadal it’s Djokovic.
@@AstroSully and for Djokovic both rafa and Wawrinka in slams
@@Laland_1196 Lol. Federer beat Djokovic 6 times in slams.
Si Stan hubiera mantenido este nivel toda su carrera, tendria al menos
10 Grand Slams
watching wawrinka and djokovic pound the ball cross court backhand to backhand is such a treat.
Anytime Stan does that point-the-finger at his head side after a point won usually means he's on.
another clue is when he starts to consistently hit bh down the line winners.
Wawrinka got the most powerful one handed backhand, just amazing to see how much power he can generate with it!
Us open. Champ of grandslam highlights. Respect!
stan should coach roger or provide some tips to him when it comes to break the mental block roger has against djokovic. how brutally stan the man obliterates djokovic is evident without any fear
Stan’s backhand is bigger than Roger’s and that makes the difference.
Yeah I also think it has to do more with the backhand. Wawrinka is more powerful on that side than Roger.
Also Stan has a powerful serve, roger has accuracy but against djokovic power is a key with positioning. roger needs that.
@@permansan9164 It’s his mental game not physical, just look at Wimbledon 2019. He had the championship point twice and couldn’t convert it. To have it in the first place means his physical game is still there.
Stan "The Man" obliterates Djokovic? Is that why Stan "The Man" has only beaten Djokovic 6 times; while Djokovic has beaten Stan "The Man" 19 times ? LOL !!!!!
I love Stan the man 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Joko's Kryptonite. You actually sense Joko weakening physically when he plays Stan The Man!
nole is literally 19-6 in head to head. ur trippin. djokovics only weakness is himself.
@@j2theosh6969 🤣Stan is up 4:0 in Slam since 2014 obviously that's not luck. Stan have something others don't have. His down the line back hand to Novak's forenad is brutal. I think that's also maybe the way Novak hit his back hand slightly flat and stay lower which seem to set up Warwrinka's back hand perfectly. Also Stan is not one trick pony he have weapons serves can be big and crushing forehand too. You can't beat the GOAT with one trick. Look what happened to Berittini in Wimbledon's final. Just accept and embrace Stanimal and the beast he is. 😏
@@phyotennis7462 and where’s Stan now? And don’t say injuries as an excuse cuz djokovic been there
@@j2theosh6969 don't be salty man. Just accept the facts. He will always remembered as the one that tamed the GOAT and make him quit in the match.🥱
@@phyotennis7462 lol glad he was able to win 6 whole matches 😂 y’all reaching so hard. 19-6 seems like it’s obvious who got the best of who
RULE 1: NEVER set up Stanislav Wawrinka to play a backhand...it is MORE dangerous than his forehand. How Novak hasn't realized this is mind-boggling
Love these extended highlights. And this one was great.
Wawrinka is the true nemesis of Djokovic. He seems to bring out his A-game every time he turns up against Djokovic, especially during the business end of the tournament.
Whats amazing is that Novak and Rafa have not met at the US open since 2013.
Not a super Djokovic fan, but his face spoke for himself since the beginning of the match! Good healing!
@c fedyszyn Maybe also... I am definitely a Wawrinka fan but I do believe he was not feeling physically well!
It doesn’t matter the location, Melbourne, Paris, New York, London, the crowd roots hard against Djokovic. 😂
Nobody likes him beside his own supporter. Lol
it's because you never watched a match in Asia, dumbxxx
@@wstew but why ppl hate him???
@@addyphoenix2655 why? saw how he partied during the pandemic?
@@wstew but before that too he never got the same applause as say someone like fedrer or even nadal. even though hes on the same level as far as talent goes.
This one kept me on the edge of my seat! Both are great,great players!
Seems like djokovic always difficult play against Stan. I always happy Stan Win against djokovic. Good Job Stan
There are few things in this world I love more than seeing Stan beat Djokovic in a Grand Slam :)
Warinka is currently one of the best players playing with single handed backhand hit!
But he needs to improve his movement
No one matches up against Djokovic better than Wavrinka; he plays a smart steady all round game with controlled aggression ; awesome
I love that Stan matches up so well against Djokovic.
*in grand slams after 2013 because their h2h is still very one sided.
@@MrSekeeroMan of course but I still think it’s such a great matchup to watch.
@@RobertThomasCollins True..they have had some amazing matches in the past decade.
That BH is gold. The best for me in male tennis. I would chose single handed power backhand to double. It helps change direction so easily. And his BH has venom and dip on both flanks
Novak, “ HERE WE GO AGAIN’
Stan's power is incredible!
His single free-flowing backhand is superb!
My biggest disappointment in the US Open was Warwinka, don't get me wrong I'm now a converted Medvedev fan but would love to have seen Stan on an American hardcourt play Nadal..
Nadal is 18-3 vs Wawrinka, two out of the three Wawrinka wins came in the worst season for Nadal in 2015 and one came at final of the Australian Open 2014 where Nadal was clearly playing with an injury averaging 80 mile per hour serves and not running down anything from the second set until the end. Nadal is probably the worst type of player for Wawrinka.
Novak had an excellent H2H against Stan as well..
@@kailashpatel1706 The key word is "had", Djokovic is 4-4 in grand slam matches and 1-4 in the last five GS matches vs Wawrinka.
@@gherbihicham8506 he still 'has' an excellent h2h..!
@@kailashpatel1706 Not really excellent, perhaps very good, he lost many grand slam matches to the guy even though he won 19 matches overall.
Djokovic retires because he's afraid of losing in straight sets.
Joke he had injury he would have won
Yes like world fakest person jafa
Always
Facts
offcourse he is
That’s the difference between Novak and Fed. Novak gives up and retires a dozen times in his career in key matches with any injury. Fed keeps going and finishes the match win or lose.
40 15
and federer lose all the time vs djokovic !!!!!!
TheNitrohp grand slams, longest at number one in the world. It’s not about h2h. Let’s see where Novak is playing at 39 years of age.
@@sapientbudgie5652 hahaha only 20 with 39 years !!!!!! Djokovic have 17 with 32 years !!!!! Don't cry fedefan !!!!
TheNitrohp Must be Serbian. Nobody else cares. Federer changed the game. No matter how many grand slams Novak wins, he will always be a kiss ass, say nothing boring player to watch. Stan the man is more exciting to watch playing cards. Novak fans know that Fed is the king of tennis. Sampras was more influential than Novak.
1:15
I dreamed my whole life doing a volley as solid as that! 🙃
Yeah now that the tournaments over and no one really cares about a 4th round match anymore. Good timing US Open
Tell me who doesn't care about it. It can only be people like you, who watch or decide the quality of matches seeing their level in the tournament and not the players who play. Whatever the stage be, djokovic Vs wawrinka is one of the best battles on the planet
@@rishigupta3247 I thought the longer highlights would finally get the chronic complainers to STFU. I guess not lol
@@rishigupta3247 Well I thought the match was so good I rewatched it on ESPN the next day to enjoy it again. I'm just saying now that we know who the champion is the result of this match is rather insignificant. Stop jumping into conclusions and thanks.
Actually we do...Novak was playing quite well
In the middle of the second started the Novak shoulder problems, but Stan was too strong, I don't know if Novak would has beat Stan that day...
I wish they meet frequently in grand slam quarter final,or round of 16.
I love Wawrinka serve style, i will surely try to cooy it

そしてバブ、全盛期よりサーブ早なってない??ファーストな
Muy bien dicho, amigo asiático.
If body becomes weak chance to win are minimal
Finish the match Novak. That was weak sauce.
Youngsters today should just watch Wawrinka vs Djokovic matches to plan tactics against Djokovic. Nothing else will help them
Estos si eran partidazos de tennis 🎾 ❤😮
why didnt you guys upload these the day after the matchesss
Lazy asses, that's why.
The TV company won’t allow them to
they just want to prevent other youtubers from making money off highlights
TV and sports Chanels paid big $ for broadcasting right.
Took too much time to put together probably
Outlasting Novak in long rallies and forcing *HIM* to make errors is probably the one big indication for the other player that he should fancy his chances and go for the win on the day against the legend that is Novak Djokovic.
Serve @ 3:21 was 135 mph...definitely has some spice / sauce on his serve..
Stan has a beautiful balletic backhand but Djokovic has the best and most consistent backhand ever.
he’s 5 games away from losing. just play the rest of the match. he’s way too quick to retire and based on his movement he wasn’t that injured.
Yep, he is a bitch.
It's dangerous to play with an injury (especially at the professional level) because you can injure yourself more and then recovery time is even longer so it was probably the right choice for Djokovic.
InterKOT i just feel like he could’ve played but not gone all out and risk injury. being so close to winning and then winning by “default” takes so much deserved credit away from stan. especially since this was stan’s comeback and djokovic was nearly unbeatable. on paper it’ll just look like novak was too injured to play and any player would’ve won regardless.
Yeah tell the worlds number one tennis player how to play!
Jason Zhang i didn’t tell him how to play.. i told him how he could give more respect to his opponent. he’s always talking about respect isn’t he? i’m not acting like i could give him tennis lessons
Those who have seen the Wimbledon2019 and AUSopen2020 finals won't say that Djocovic retires when he sees he's losing.. rest the discussion
He can fool around chokers like Theim and Fed. Not Stan.. Stan the man who beat him to clinch his 3 gs titles (though 2014 at the SF).. His faking tactics won't work against him.. When the tour return this faker must face Stan for early exit in all GS's except Wimbledon
Stan demostrando que es un Animal 🥰
Amazing and beautiful backhand from Wawrinka!
0:49 Djokovic saves a life.
Hahahaha nice spot
Djoko literally gave up against Stan the man
Djoko's "visualisation technique" didn't work this time around against Stan , who's my fav by a long margin.
I like very much Tsitsipas style as well.
Stan is truly the ultimate Kryptonite for DJokovic. He made djokovic play like an amateur. He even made him say 'no mas, senior'
Like always say it. When stan is on full flow HE'S THE MAN

The guy texting @ 4:43 didn't deserve to be there.
I don’t wanna judge, but ngl I felt that way before even reading this comment.
Wawrinka is such a beast, he grinds down djokovic the way djokovic usually does to others. Brutal!
Cameraman: Hold my beer
Bugs Bunny in his imagination: Aennhhh, There's none left doc.
I wonder if Stan knows that He is the ONLY man in Earth who can win and DOMINATE prime Djokovic?
Wawrinka the only player to cause Djokovic and Nadal to get injured and then lose thier Grand Slam matches 😂😂
Don't tell me he couldn't have carried on for 4 more games!
I'm not even a big fan of Djokovic but you people don't get it. Why continue if you have an injury that gets worse? Its no coincidence he retired after the double fault because of his shoulder injury.
@@brianmannion7097 Because people paid to see a match! You're right Novak doesn't have to carry on but then he shouldn't constantly moan that he doesn't get the same love from the crowds as Federer and Nadal do
Soundgarden97 his 'shoulder injury' lol, ok now where did he get this 'injury' of his?...not at least by playing tennis. It was his left shoulder, non hitting arm. Was it injured by tossing the ball lol. Shoulder injuries arise almost solely to the hitting arm from too many overheads and hard smashes...everyone who plays tennis knows this. It was a fake injury, he has done this acting even before. But hey I didn't pay those expensive tickets to watch that match so it's all good man 😀. It's just very naive to think he had a shoulder injury, Novak played with full force 2 solid sets, then when Stan again broke his serve Nole just suddenly packed his gear and went off the court. If he was injured, his game would have been way off and would have propably lost those 2 first sets like 6-0, 6-1 etc
@@mickeyguide3112 Oh so you now say its the left shoulder? I thought you said he was faking the injury so why does it matter to a clown like you? You seem very sure of yourself anyway.
Soundgarden97 well Nole's team stated it was the left shoulder not me...take it easy buddy no need to get upset 😝
one handed backhand so graceful while the two handed is ugly
