Peak Stan vs peak Novak is one of the most spectacular matchups ever
I think current Novak matches up better against peak Stan. 2011-2016 Novak wasn’t aggressive enough on his forehand and didn’t have a good enough serve. Overall, Novak’s style worked against almost everyone but in slams Stan had the stamina and power to equal Novak from the baseline. He was truly a monster when he was playing his best tennis.
@@mikemoggerson6651that's cause stan was aggressive, so it's harder for Novak to set up his winners.
@@maka3230 Novak now has more power and depth on his forehand side than he used to (especially from 2012-2016, when he stopped using the forehand as aggressively as he did in 2011). Against Sinner in the ATP finals, he was averaging 140 km/h forehand speed which never would have happened back in 2013. He wasn’t pushing opponents back as much as he is now, at least off the forehand. This played right into Stan’s hands.
@@mikemoggerson6651 Not a valid comparison though as Sinner is not as hard heavy hitter as prime Wawrinka. Hitting hard plays even more into Wawrinka's hand, he can beat anyone in baseline duel, the only smart way is to play consistent and hope he makes mistake and/or tire out but when Stan is consistent with good stamina, he is like a cheat code basically. Moreover Djokovic seems to be playing more aggressive that final against Sinner than other times because Sinner seems to be somewhat more passive giving plenty of opportunities for Djokovic to attack. 2015 Djokovic can hit a lot harder than you think but he choose to play it smart and save energy for longevity, definitely not as hard as 2011 but definitely harder than this 2023 version.
Also there are people thinking Novak is still young at 36 year and is in his prime right now. That is ridiculous and just comes from ignorance. Performing at elite sports at that kind of stress levels ages you way faster than normal human aging. Just because Novak is good at slowing down his aging does not mean he is not aging or reverse-aging. His special diet and lifestyle allow him to stay fitter for longer period of time than all his rivals. These youngsters are biased for the nextgen...but when they get old themselves and keep losing against stronger fitter newcomers they will realize it is not age giving Djokovic advantage(in fact it is more a disadvantage) and that Djokovic is simply special and came from special generation of Big 3.
@@stanleyextra2812 Sinner is a massive hitter, what are u talking about? Djoko’s plan was to neutralize his power by hitting extremely deep and powerfully. He never, ever played that aggressively in 2015 for example.
And Wawrinka always struggled against Nadal and other players in baselines duels. He wasn’t unbeatable by any stretch, but for whatever reasons (personal, tactics, play style, etc ) he just matched up perfectly against Novak in grand slams.
Wawrinka got utterly dominated in non slam matches by Djokovic, which was bizarre. Young Novak’s war of attrition style wouldn’t work as well as older Novak’s style in my honest opinion.
Stan has the GOAT one-handed backhand. Its not a debate, in fact, its not even close.
Federer 2006 had a backhand of similiar level. Check out nadal vs federer rome 2006.
WTF are you talking about? I watched federer. He had patches of great backhand. It was never at the consistent level of Stan. Partilarly peak stan v peak federer. Why do you think Djokovic and Nadal always picked on Federer's backhand? How many shots did they direct at Stan's backhand?@@scottwarren4998

One top comment says: I will never tire of seeing Roger Federer hit his backhand. It is the most perfect stroke in true history of the game.
@@SuperSENSO. Federer was in his prime in 2006. Super backhand Federer had. Did you ever see Wawrinka have match-points vs Nadal on clay best 3 sets? Federer succeded with that vs Nadal.
Prime Stan was an absolute beast! It's easy to see how Djoker got so good as he kept working on his game to beat players like Stan, Fed and Nadal. Iron sharpens iron.
Stan said many times he enjoys playing Djoko as he plays similar robot-like tennis on the baseline with rhythm. The only difference during his top level 3-4 years was he could outhit and outlast Djoko on several occasions. Stan firing on all cylinders was a force of nature. Also thank you for doing the effort and putting up the highlights. Nice one at 10:18 shows attention to details and that you are tennisnerd ;)
Haha thank for noticing buddy ❤️
"Robot-like" Hahahaha... Yeah.. Djoko is very solid, but not as interesting to watch as Stan, Fed, or Nadal.
Djokovic's problem with Stan is that the Swiss is incredibly strong and has a fantastic stamina. Wawrinka can hit big 2-3-4-5 hours. You just won't find any other player with that kind of endurance.
That's why Stan was a problem for Nole in best of five.
it's funny cuz stan always was a bit chubby compared to someone like djokovic, you would not think he had that stamina
I believe evolved Djokovic (2021+) would actually handle prime Stan easier than younger Djokovic. Of course, Djokovic always dominated Stan outside of slams but in slams it was a war.
The reason I believe old Djokovic would do better is that now he hits much harder/deeper from his forehand side and plays more attacking tennis, and generally has a much better serve. Djokovic’s 2011-2016 style allowed Stan to tee off with his mega powerful ground strokes, where Novak almost seemed to be shocked that Stan could do it so consistently. Most players would hit a million unforced errors. Djokovic’s more defensive style worked almost perfectly in those days against the vast majority of players due to his quickness and his ability to beat you easily from the baseline. However his current more attacking and powerful forehand would have suited him better back then against Stan.
That’s what a lot of people don’t get. Tennis is about matchups…Djokovic may not necessarily be better now than he was in 2015, but certain matchups may favour an older/younger version of a player depending on their relative strengths. It’s like how Federer 2017 onwards learned how to consistently beat Nadal off clay due to his evolved backhand. Doesn’t mean he was as good as 2006, but certain aspects helped against certain players.
@@louisedyhlen3234 it's just the way he built. The guy always had 6-pack and played tons of long grueling matches.
@@mikemoggerson6651 I agree. Djokovic always had a hard time hitting through Stan and killing pretty slow returns.
With more power and better net play he covers holes Wawrinka used to exploit.
Yes but in the end you could see that Wwrinka was really tired and Nole could still go for a few more hours... little big difference
Peak Stan is one of the most amazing moders tennis players to ever do it
Wawrinka forehand is so powerful
Thank you for reminding us about this magnificent encounter. Pure bliss
Glad you enjoyed it my man
We are gona mis so much this guyss.. new playerd csnt even come close to this level
Stan is one of my two fav players, together with Roger...loved his matches with Novak.
Djokovic mental strongness in unbilievable.....we I saw the first set, I gave up already with thosr backhands down the line.
@baixinhousa: Stan dominates in GS finals against Djokovic (2-0). In both finals Wawrinka lost the first set and won the next three. That is mental strongness.
The only player who won against the best version of NOLE
On hard surface you mean? on clay djokovic lost to federer in 2011, and to nadal in 2013/2014.
Nadal beat him the following day in the final 😂
@@federer4508 that was a strange loss. how on earth did djokovic beat stans ass, and couldn't beat nadal? Djokovic's backhand fits much better against nadal than against stan.
@@federer4508 Nadal bageled peak Djokovic at the French Open.
@@DonSyndromeDjokovic dethroned peak Nadal at the French Open
I just love the intro...❤ Great content as always!! Thanks!!
Thank you for the kind words buddy ♥
WAWARINKAS BACK HAND BEST ON EARTH .
I like your videos a lot, but in my opinion it is better for you to show the whole point instead of just the end when the player hits the winner. If you show the whole point, it builds it up, making the end even more satisfying.
Thanks buddy!
And I absolutely agree with you, but unfortunately that's the only way to upload these matches nowadays. There's no way I can show more than 1-2 hits due to copyrights.
Longer videos benefit the channel more but at the current circumstances it's impossible in most of the matches.
@@WivoRN ahhh fair enough man that sucks
Why don't you go ahead and post some videos. Someone always has to criticize, especially those never post a video. Jeez
Stan's no fear hitting style is awesome, & his single backhand is arguably the best ever in men's tennis. Even Federer said he's love to have his backhand.
So many people were talking about Alcaraz being the new big three. Truth is, he hasn't even reached peak Stan level yet.
Yes Stan had to deal with peak Nadal, Djokovic, Federer, Murray. It's tough to win titles when so many legends playing in the same era. Alcaraz is just dealing with 36 years old Djokovic
Wawrinka never even made it past the quarter finals of wimbeldon .
Wawrinka also won a grand total of 1 masters title while alcaraz has 4 . Wawrinka has a 12-65 record against the big 3 which is kinda pathetic
Pretty sure I said PEAK Stan level. 2014-2016. Which, he hasn't.@@Fraudkovic
@@Fraudkovic and Stan dominates in GS finals against Djokovic (2-0). In both finals Wawrinka lost the first set and won the next three.
Wivorn showing Djokovic winning....... It's a miracle
😂
Actually this match is more "how many forehand did wawrinka made ?" what a lame when you see the real match ...
I am amazed Novak was able to put a racket on some of those shots that Stan was producing
Stan one of the few players who could, at his best, hit through Djokovic's defence. Stan perhaps most vulnerable against players who could rush him from the net and not allow him to set up (Federer in particular had a great record against Stan because of his ability to do that). It wasn't Djokovic's game.
Stan was in the zone and letting it all ride. I remember RF commenting on his chances in an upcoming match with Stan. He said there are a couple of Stans. If the wrong one shows up, he’ll hit you off the court.
Novak has some cool pink checkerboarded shorts, compliments of Buzz Saw! 😊
I miss that fast surface, just like the one on the davis cup
The US open then was actually slower than it is today. Also, the ATP finals (CPI of 45+) were the fastest courts this year, not Davis Cup. The faster the courts, the less chance Nadal (who beat Djokovic after this match) has to beat Djokovic. The US open was slowing in the 2010s so in recent years they have sped it up.
I can’t link an article on CZcams, but there’s an article on tennis abstract that shows the relative surface speeds in 2013 (based on ace rate, which is somewhat accurate) that shows the US open was quite a bit slower than other hard courts that season, in particular the quick indoor courts. Out of the big HC tournaments, Paris, Shanghai, Cincinnati, Australian Open, and the Tour finals were all quicker that year
Stan won all grand slam finals he contested
He lost to Rafa at RG in the 2017 final
Both of them were good 👍
What “ War “ 😮
This is professional tennis 🎾.
A clash of Titans. The time Stan Wawrinka downed both Novak and Rafa in the 2014 Australian Open was probably the greatest performance by any player outside the big 3 ever. He was on another level that year.
NOVAK THE GOAT!! 👊
Is no enough powerful , need mentality and it only have the 🐐
couldn't relate more
🎾🔝🎾
TOUT SIMPLEMENT WOUAA
and then we had the Epic 2013 Final
Which year was that?
2013
Obviously the big three and big four were better than Stan, even he says so, but Stan on top form was simply unbeatable even by the goats, monstrous forehand, the best one handed backhand of all time when he was timing it well and great physicality. A thing of beauty when he is on his game. Not as consistent as the other 4 but like Andy if he’d been born in a different era, he’d have had at least 8. And 3 is not bad considering who he played against. Roland Garros when he won was some of the purest tennis ever seen.
Unbeatable? Nadal won every time vs Stan in best of 3 sets on clay. But Federer had match points vs nadal in best of 3 sets in 2006 Rome on clay.
Never seen Stan do anything like that.
"Not as consistent as the other 4 but like Andy if he’d been born in a different era, he’d have had at least 8. "
what a joke, Andy Murray might just be the most consistent person in existence when compared to Wawrinka.
do you even realize how many semi finals and finals Murray has played?
Wawrinka had some success when he was on...which was 2-3 times in his entire career. That's it.
No, he wouldn't have at least 8, simply due to the fact that he hasn't even played 8 grandslam finals, let alone anything more than that.
and just to prove it to you with hard, cold stats:
Wawrinka: 4 grandslam finals career wise, 3 titles.
6 grand slam SEMI FINALS
Andy Murray: 11 grand slam finals, 3 titles
21 grand slam SEMI FINALS.
@@dj_m1999 big Murray fan dude, know all his stats and Stan’s, my only remark was that Stan’s best tennis, which he didn’t produce as consistently as the others, was nearly unplayable even for those guys.
@@christopherwatkin2554 "which he didn't produce as consistently" might just be an understatement of the decade.
when did he produce it? when did the big 3 + Murray struggle with it, and how much success has brought Stan?
gave you the stats, gave you the number of titles. The discrepancy is simply way too large to casually say "not as consistently". It has to be stressed just how rarely Stan has ever been in top form and produced his best tennis.
THE GOAT
He lost the next match to the goat.
@@Almstfam 24 vs 22
@@Almstfamthat was the last time that Nadal beat him on anything other than clay. 10 years ago!
@@travisbickle5279 of course it's easier for him to win when nadal is not playing
@@um8036 they only met once in GS hc since then, in ao where djokovic is the favourite, in us open which a cat2 medium fast court nadal is the favourite.
sledgehammer vs wall, what do you expect?
Back then we got Murray, Nadal, Federer, warinka and nishikori and they are all older than Djokovic except nishikori but what’s happening after these players… the young players are all emotionally fragile and that’s why Djokovic grand slam record in his 30s is 12 wins to 3 losses where as before 30 was 12 wins to 9 losses … .
WAWARINKA DESERVED MANY GRANDSLAMS BUT COULD NOT MAKE IT
Head to head DJOKOVIC 21 WAWRINKA 6.
Stan was always a problem for Nole. But a good friend of him.
Actual highlights without half of the points cutting away when they're not done yet? Nice.
Copyrights only allow 8 seconds per point unfortunately... It's the best I can do.
@@WivoRN Nono, it was a compliment, way better than other channels.
Ahh got you, thank you ❤️
How I wish Stan could go back with this type of game of his. ❤
5:38 oh putain la chatte 😂 clin d'œil à Benoît Paire 😂
Peak Wawrinka always made djokovic jittery... Meanwhile Grandpa fed was beating peak stan For fun till the end...
omg bru-tality?? oh noes! does he throw a ball at someone's throat?
King Novak 👑. A truly deserved title ✨
90% of the points in these highlights are Stan winning them, yet he lost the match. How is this possible?? 😂
He made more unforced errors, specially towards the end
GOAT Novak
Head to Head is 23:6 and Joker was better on all surfaces... If someone watch this video He maybe think that Joker quit tennis because of Sanislas 😂😂😂
Novak is the GOAT if you go by numbers & records, which shouod determine the GOAT in any sport. That said, I've seen a few players who have been able to beat the GOAT; their best against his best:
Wawrinka beat the Djoker at the French Open, Australian Open (kind of tough to do), and the U.S Open (twice). That said, Djoker has a 21-6 edge, but Stans best against Djokers best, I'm taking Stan.
Kyrgios is 2-1 against the Djoker, but lost the big one at Wimbledon.
Djokers best vs Nicks best, I'm going with Djoker.
Safin 2-0 against Djoker, but Novak was young & nowhere near his best.
Del Potro beat Djoker in the Olympics (twice), Davis Cup & Indian Wells. Djoker has a 16-4 record against Delpo. Both at their best (2009 U.S Open Delpo), im taking Delpo.
@j.jmcquade5278 NOT Djokovic (number 3 and winner AO) BUT Safin (number 75) was NOWHERE NEAR HIS BEST. Still he beats Djokovic in three sets in just two hours and faces only one breakpoint. Very impressive! In the semi final he lost to Federer.
Djokovic waving his arms is like “love me, love me, please love me.”
first
Wawrinka only plays like this agaisnt Djokovic , against murray , nadal and federer , he plays awfull normally.
Totally uninteresting. What's the fun in watching a single player's best points?
Ungeimpfte sind gesünder und stärker als Geimpfte
JERKOVIC
Where is Stan vs. Novak? They are no match, Novak is the GOAT, 24 GrandSlams vs. 3, there is no comparison. It might be a good match but thats all...
If Federer had the mental strength as his countryman he would never have lost to Doko.
Mr Boring cant ever beat a shotmaker he can only return
If Wawrinka did apprenticeship with Djokovic instead of Federer he would have achieved more. He chose to go with the looser.
You are so hopeless to deny Djokovic, and making videos where Novak "have problems" "losing" etc.... Resistence is futile
