Follow Us
Stan Wawrinka rose at the top of the ranks during the domination of some of the greatest players in history. Apart from Andy Murray, he is the only other man who has won more than 1 Grand Slam during the reign of ‘The Big Three.’ Wawrinka has defeated the likes of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal to lay claim to his 3 Grand Slam titles.
Even though Wawrinka has remained dominant on the tour, he does not reach the final stages of tournaments quite as often as he used to. Recently, he vanquished former World No.1 Andy Murray in straight sets at the French Open 2020. This gave ‘Stan The Man’ a boost of confidence. However, he was ousted by 20-yr-old Hugo Gaston in the third round.
After that, Wawrinka managed to reach the quarter-finals of St.Petersburg Open, but lost to Denis Shapovalov 6-4, 7-5.
