Maybe if we talk about most POWERFUL backhand, but he is not winning a lot because that's simply not enough. He has no idea how to hit a slice backhand, he is awful in defence most of the time. You can't win by attacking ALL THE TIME because he is making a lot of unforced errors. Federer maybe hits less backhand winners but at least his backhand is much more consistent.
@hopy519 жыл бұрын
Stan certainly has the most powerful one handed backhand in the business and also the most beautiful. I love the way he pushes off on the rear leg and turns completely open. He has it all (forehand, serve, slice, volleys, footwork, consistency, etc) to become Number 1. The one thing that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic has an edge over him is in the "mental" game. He beat the #1 in the semis then and #2 in the finals of 2014 Australian Open. So he definitely has the talent, skills and fire power to beat the best. But for some odd reason, he lost his focus mentally in the 3rd set against an injured Nadal. He let Nadal win the 3rd set and he lost it badly. I couldn't believe it. It's like he checked out completely or something. If it were the other way around where Wawrinka was the injured party, the three top players would have no mercy and put him out of his misery in straight sets. You'll never have that winning match consistency if your mental game falls apart. So I hope he sees that and works on it. One way to work on his mental game is to develop a "killer's" instinct. I've been a Federer fan for a long time and still am; but now, Wawrinka has replaced Roger as my most favorite among all the players. I get bored watching Nadal or Djokovic for some reason. Murray is just another player. I like watching Nishikori but he got beaten badly by Stan. Dimitrov, Berdych they're okay. Raonic has some work to do. The only thing he has is his serve.

Wawrinka is one of the few tennis players on the tour who was not afraid of Djokovic and is not afraid, even Nadal and Federer are afraid when they go to matches against the Serb,their uncertainty is transmitted to Djokovic, whom it makes stronger and he defeats them. Stan has a strong mentality, he is confident in himself, he plays from himself, the shots that he owns, of course, a one-handed backhand ,a diverse game around the court, so he is a great threat to Djokovic even now. However, Wawrinka is all injured, and he can win absolutely anyone, as Wawrinka himself said: my goal is to make my opponent suffer on the court. And he knows how to do it. A great tennis player,I always liked him.
@midas84562 жыл бұрын
He's incredible, he doesn't have the variety of shots of Federer or Nadal, not as many angles and touch shots, but I think that's why he's clutch, he knows he'll go for the big bomb serve and attack anything on the rise he can from the baseline, it's that simple for him, so he just stuck to that and if Djokovic was even a little off, Stan overwhelmed him with consistency and power in some big matches, even after digging himself out of a lot of holes here when it seemed like Novak had the easier service games. Incredible player, would be amazing to see him win one last slam, though perhaps not possible now.

I know for a fact how much Nole respects him. Even till today he always practices with him before GS. Nole knows who is special.

Wawrinka played out of his mind this match. From a strategic point of view, Novak was trying to outslug Wawrinka and match his power, which no one can do when Wawrinka is on top of his game. The sets that Djokovic won were the ones where he hit angles with plenty of margin of error and made wawrinka run side to side. Stan’s movement is his biggest liability and Djokovic failed to exploit it sufficiently. But at the end of the day, Stan was way too good this tournament.

Novak did a wonderful job pulling Stan side to side and mixing up top spin, direction and slice in the first set. And as soon as he won the first set, it went to his head and made him think that he could overpower Stan from the baseline and go straight-up with Stan. That was a huge mistake and Stan made him pay dearly. Really miss this Wawrinka. I want him to make a deep run at this year’s US OPEN.
It’s not talked about enough how incredible of an achievement it is that Stan won 3 slams and defeated Djokovic, the most dominant player of the decade, in all 3 of them.

This was an amazing win for Stan it changed his life! The confidence of the win and Stan soared to win the Australian Open.
***** He only raises game properly for big players so in the other matches throughout the year he gets beaten very easily in earlier rounds. Shame as still not quite there in terms of consistency, on his day unplayable esp hard court but not really clay/grass.
Black_Eye Really? Monte Carlo title, semis in WTF, quarters in Wimbledon and US, and a Davis cup is bad?
Black_Eye The thing about Stan is, he raises his level to play higher up guys but can suffer shock upsets to lower guys
well he should have beaten federer in the ATP finals but decided to serve volley on all match points . Theres no point just beating the big guys if you cannot win all the smaller events because you lose match sharpness and confidence. Hopefully he will come back with a bang starting in Aussie open because the tournament needs him

One of the greatest matches of all-time. Hands down!
The best one-handed backhand in tennis!
Maybe if we talk about most POWERFUL backhand, but he is not winning a lot because that's simply not enough. He has no idea how to hit a slice backhand, he is awful in defence most of the time. You can't win by attacking ALL THE TIME because he is making a lot of unforced errors. Federer maybe hits less backhand winners but at least his backhand is much more consistent.
Stan certainly has the most powerful one handed backhand in the business and also the most beautiful. I love the way he pushes off on the rear leg and turns completely open. He has it all (forehand, serve, slice, volleys, footwork, consistency, etc) to become Number 1. The one thing that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic has an edge over him is in the "mental" game. He beat the #1 in the semis then and #2 in the finals of 2014 Australian Open. So he definitely has the talent, skills and fire power to beat the best. But for some odd reason, he lost his focus mentally in the 3rd set against an injured Nadal. He let Nadal win the 3rd set and he lost it badly. I couldn't believe it. It's like he checked out completely or something. If it were the other way around where Wawrinka was the injured party, the three top players would have no mercy and put him out of his misery in straight sets. You'll never have that winning match consistency if your mental game falls apart. So I hope he sees that and works on it. One way to work on his mental game is to develop a "killer's" instinct. I've been a Federer fan for a long time and still am; but now, Wawrinka has replaced Roger as my most favorite among all the players. I get bored watching Nadal or Djokovic for some reason. Murray is just another player. I like watching Nishikori but he got beaten badly by Stan. Dimitrov, Berdych they're okay. Raonic has some work to do. The only thing he has is his serve.
Lord Byron In the 2014 Australian Open final, Stan defeated the No. 1 in the quarter-finals, not in the semi-finals...
hopy51 federer's backhand is not consistent at all, just his backhand slice is very good
Daniel Richards Federer's backhand is consistent; just not these days.
Wawrinka is one of the few tennis players on the tour who was not afraid of Djokovic and is not afraid, even Nadal and Federer are afraid when they go to matches against the Serb,their uncertainty is transmitted to Djokovic, whom it makes stronger and he defeats them. Stan has a strong mentality, he is confident in himself, he plays from himself, the shots that he owns, of course, a one-handed backhand ,a diverse game around the court, so he is a great threat to Djokovic even now. However, Wawrinka is all injured, and he can win absolutely anyone, as Wawrinka himself said: my goal is to make my opponent suffer on the court. And he knows how to do it. A great tennis player,I always liked him.
He's incredible, he doesn't have the variety of shots of Federer or Nadal, not as many angles and touch shots, but I think that's why he's clutch, he knows he'll go for the big bomb serve and attack anything on the rise he can from the baseline, it's that simple for him, so he just stuck to that and if Djokovic was even a little off, Stan overwhelmed him with consistency and power in some big matches, even after digging himself out of a lot of holes here when it seemed like Novak had the easier service games. Incredible player, would be amazing to see him win one last slam, though perhaps not possible now.
Nobody can bully a prime Novak at a slam the way Stan does. Stanimal is truly a beast!

Federer had an easy winner to win the 1st set with Nadal all the way in the corner and instead plays an unnecessary drop shot(exact same thing at IW 18 with delpo) that misses and the rest is history. He played at a very high level in the first 3 sets and arguably could've won them all but time after time he doesn't stay alert at the most critical times.

I am a huge Nole fan. But when Stan won this match I stood up and applauded. He deserved that after how he lost to Nole in 2013 AO n US. He made me forget my loyalty. When a player does that you know he is special. Players like this are rare. I can’t believe Murray gets so much noise but Stan to me has been equally good but often overlooked in his best years. I know for a fact how much Nole respects him. Even till today he always practices with him before GS. Nole knows who is special.
Novak, always so nice to opponents, giving them a nice talk and hug, no matter if he loses or wins. Just that shows his value and size as a human being.

this is true Stan won fair and square.
Chocked on wawrinka's gentleman part
For sure this wasn't vintage Djokovic but part (or most) of it was because how brilliant Stan was hitting the ball. He was aggressive and hit the ball so cleanly and Djokovic couldn't handle (or bring his best game). As Stan said himself that when Djokvoic was in beast mode, he would be a much better player but tennis isn't about who's better on paper. Fair game to Stan! Stan won three majors from first three finals - that shows how strong he is mentally! Coming from a Novak's fan
People lose because their opponent played better. Plain and simple.
Yeah Stan had a lot of pressure applied to Djokovic.
23:44 look at that backhand half-volley from the baseline by Wawrinka. So Federer's not the only one who can do it!
Federer taught him.
It's apparently one of the best matches of Wawrinka who played with an incredible stamina to stop this man who was playing at his favourite surface. Some of his service & backhand were incredible. He's the man who stopped Djokovic when he was at his best & to beat him at 3 different Grand Slams at crucial matches is something really tough to handle. I don't think we will get a chance to see this version of Wawrinka anymore. Amazing performance which also made him win the title in that tournament !!
I remember watching this map in a nice hostel in Sydney when I was on my first solo trip. I watched it on my phone at night while the rest was already sleeping in bed. One of the best matches in one of my best times. Good times.
This is why, besides the Big 4, Stan is The Man. In this AO, Stan was the best player in the world.
could have been delpo as well if it wasn't for the injuries
@@jakehuang3545 Delpo was even better than Stan given that he was consistent on all surfaces and conditions.
Wawrinka played out of his mind this match. From a strategic point of view, Novak was trying to outslug Wawrinka and match his power, which no one can do when Wawrinka is on top of his game. The sets that Djokovic won were the ones where he hit angles with plenty of margin of error and made wawrinka run side to side. Stan’s movement is his biggest liability and Djokovic failed to exploit it sufficiently. But at the end of the day, Stan was way too good this tournament.
Agree. But I'll give Stan credit for getting out to his FH corner and absolutely ripping that thing on the run so that Djokovic can't just dictate the points however he wanted
When Stan serves like he did in sets 2 and 3 and plays that aggressive from both wings with such power and accuracy there is simply no way to stop him unless you can serve your way through the storm. He was destined to win the tournament and fairplay to him. Love his style!
The point at 28:21, this is reason why Djokovic has the best defence in the whole god damn world!!

The difference in the Djokovic shotmaking technic between this and from Wimbledon 2014 is huge, particularly on the forehand. Both the serve and the groundstrokes already looked different and more solid starting from Wimbledon of that year, and then in 2015 his general technique, movement, and confidence were simply insane!

Who would have thought that the same players, same stadium, same tournament in two consecutive years we would see two of the most classic Grand Slam match in the modern era! 13' 4th round 14' QF in 15' they can only meet in the SF! Hopefully.
Served.
...and a 5 setter, again :)
Josh Zahangir I am waiting for their 2016 AO Final !
640abdalla Done. But was a shit match. The quality of their 5 setters in Grand Slams have been declining consistently. I wonder how awful their AO 2016 Final is going to be.
Omkar Naik I hope to get served more of the same tonight! Different venue, different surface, but the French Open crown beckons.
Time is running so fast man...I have a feeling this was 2 years ago.
Novak always so humble in defeat. he is great GOAT.
Wish Stan could have played like this more often! 👋
Stan-djokovic matches always produce long and intense rallies. There's something about Stan that he always manages to get better over Djokovic. First this. Then French open final. Then US open final
Novak did a wonderful job pulling Stan side to side and mixing up top spin, direction and slice in the first set. And as soon as he won the first set, it went to his head and made him think that he could overpower Stan from the baseline and go straight-up with Stan. That was a huge mistake and Stan made him pay dearly. Really miss this Wawrinka. I want him to make a deep run at this year’s US OPEN.
wawrinka is the honey badger of tennis
Amazing graphics! thanks!
