What a performance by Stan. I haven't seen anyone hit so many lines in 3 hours since Leonardo Dicaprio in Wolf of Wall Street!
Underrated comment!!!
😂😂😂👉👌👌👌
😄😄😄
If Stan wears shorts like that, he'd BETTER win the French Open!
Boy ... What a comment
Hell yes, 40 mins of stan’s beautiful shorts
@Jensen HARGREAVES You didn't get it now did you?
Yes indeed, stan you make me happy. Thanks for the memories
Am I the only one who actually liked the shorts back then lol
This Stan is the strongest tennis player in the world.
Nobody can beat him ever and never.
@@UnsungSoldiers: Yes, you were.
The ovation for Novak was very heart warming. I've never seen a runner-up get such an ovation
Honestly It brings tears to my eyes every time i see it
Probably Roger at AO 2009
@@adithyanaren519 roger was a runner up in AO 2009, he lost against Nadal in the final
Probably meant a lot more to him than a lot of the titles he has won.
time?
At his best, Wawrinka was a match for anyone. He beat the Big Three to win his 3 Grand Slams, twice against Djokovic at his peak in the Final to win the French and the US Open. He played some of the most amazing shots during this final, especially with his backhand. He possesses perhaps the best one-handed backhand in the game.
If only Federer had that in his arsenal...
@@kwaseb well you can't have everything . Maybe in the future they can make a test tube baby with rafa nole and fed genes and with serenas eggs
@@kwaseb I'd love to have a backhand as weak as Federer's
He beat a prime Djokovic in all 3 of his slam wins, although yes the AO wasn’t a final win
Except his head to head against Federer is very poor (23 - 3)!!! So Federer is his Kryptonite.
May be the best performance by a single player ever. Wawrinka really put on a show in this match.
meingott717 Yes, he handled himself so well, against the world no. 1, he truly deserves it!!!
Nadal 2017 RG final better
Nadal destroyed both players in Finals after that😆
It was Djokovic's best season ever he hardly lost any matches that year.
Federer AO 2017
Let's put this stat down one more time: both people to have defeated Nadal at RG have made the final and lost to a Swiss man with a one-hand backhand.
@@Laland_1196 I know, I'm talking about Soderling and Novak. Novak beat Nadal and lost to Wawrinka (a Swiss man with a one-hand backhand).
Soderling beat Nadal in 2009 and lost to Roger (a Swiss man with a one-hand backhand).
Do you think Wawrinka or federer can win again?
@@imonlyinforfraud1423 like ever? Yeah I do.
A French Open? No.
@@Laland_1196 please reread my comment bro, I know what I said 😂
*BOTH* people to have *DEFEATED NADAL* (aka Soderling and Novak) at RG, have made the final and *LOST* to a Swiss man with a one-hand backhand.
Wawrinka hasn't beaten Nadal at RG, so I wasn't talking about him 😂
@@thebigsquirrel50 i got what you said 🤣
I like how Wawrinka celebrates as if it was just qualifying match 😂
look at the 2014 ao final vs nadal. It was his first and he barely reacted
@@aljazlm1030 I think Stan's muted celebration after the AO 2014 final was because: a) he respecfully recognized that Rafa was injured; and b) he was enormously relieved he'd won his first GS.
@@mainemceachern1521also he’s just a cool guy
@@mainemceachern1521 nadal did so many psyco mindgames in that 2014 final
Stan the man was a joy to watch in 14-15-16.
Glad he solidified it with 3 Grands.
Mid 2013 and early 2017 too IMO.
yeah he is good but wtf.. his h2h in slams vs nadal respecteve federer sux. he is behind djoko too in that stat 5-4.
I was hell scared to see the level of tennis produced by wawrinka...the best ever year of djokovic and yet wawrinka does this to novak...it simply is beyond words...its the most underrated finals of all times..

I was lucky to be there...this final will remain in my memory forever
@Siddharth Kumar Yeah I live in France, about 15km from Roland Garros. The atmosphere is always great but it's harder and harder to get a ticket for the men's singles SF and Final the recent years. I've been to Roland Garros nearly every year but for the finals of the last 10 years I only got tickets for 2011 and 2015. So that's why I said I was lucky.
@Siddharth Kumar didn't play much tennis since Covid-19 😂
@Siddharth Kumar no because the number of audience allowed was cut to 15000 per day then to 5000, and finally only 1000 per day just before the first match day. Same for the Paris Masters, already had the tickets but the tournament was played behind closed doors.
@Siddharth Kumar Yeah always in France, I've been to Monte Carlo Masters several times, Barcelona 500 twice, some ATP 250 and Davis Cup in France that's all. Planned to visit Wimbledon last year but have to cancel unfortunately.
nice
Honestly, one of the best finals in the last 10 years
Stank made it the best in history
That was peak Stan, absolute peak when he was given the hammer of Thor and destroyed all who stood in his way.
Nobody would ever have beaten Stan on this day
To think, winning the french open against one of the best players of all time at their absolute peak (2015 Novak, considered one of the best tennis seasons of all time).. what an incredible match by Stan.
It's so funny that during his two greatest seasons in 2011 and 2015, Djokovic was defeated by two swiss men in the French, who played the match of their lives
@@Jay-dm4idRoger defeating him wasn't something out of the blue 'cause he was Roger and he had the game. Stan doing that came as a surprise 'cause he usually doesn't do that.
How can someone hate this guy?.. those tears, I think those are the emotions because for the first time he fell loved, all the time the crowd is against him. Novak you have lot of fans all around the world, we are just too poor to buy a match tickets sorry
Most of the time I hate him because of things he can do on and off the court, but the end of that match reminds me how good of a heart he has. It's great to see.
@@rogersbackhand what things he do?
@@ambikeyamohapatra2482 yelling at ballkids or being irresponsible towards the coronavirus pandemic
@@rogersbackhand grow up. ...and look at yourself in the mirror and judge if you're better than him.
@@katerinapatiniotis5598 you're telling me to stop judging after telling me to grow up?
I am grown up, and I judge because these are not my values. You don't have to agree
To be honest this is why I respect Djokovic so much. He is one of the best “losers” in the professional sports, if not the best. If this is not hard enough, he is also the best champion. What a man.
Yes, and I would put Rafa right up there with him.
@@andjelko33 Rafa is usually saltier when losing, he goes for a quick cold handshake and leaves
Oh please.
He's one of the worst losers on the ATP tour.
He had nothing to be salty about in this match because he was handily beaten.
He played his best and lost fairly.
He is good when he looses and he is one of the worst winners though with his over the top celebrations....tearing shirts....prolonged screaming like an animal....
@@srikk9 no celebration is over the top when winning a goddamn Grand Slam. Stop acting like a child. You are saying that as if he's the only one. Funny how people never saw Nadal's ass picking or unbelievably long service routine as "annoying". Idiots 🙄
In praise of just outhitting the other guy: In the 15 year span of 05 through 19, The mighty Fed, Rafa, and Djokovic won 52 of the 60 Grand Slams. Murray, a fundamentally defensive, counter-punching player, won 3. The other 5 were 3 from Stan, one for Delpo, and one for Cilic. I'd argue that because the Stanimal was able to do it 3 times, against giants that no one else could fell, he holds a really special place in tennis history. And this was his absolute best match. No one thought he could win this, and even midway through the 2nd set the rational thought was that Djokovic had, at minimum, an 80-90% chance of winning.
Stan also won against the big 3 5 times in his 3 titles too, with 3 of them in the final. And his last final he also beat Murray but is unable to beat a superhuman Nadal in the final.
His best match on clay.
It has to be pointed out that his best match overall, was the 2014 Australian Open final.
@@911801111801 nah I think his best matches were the AO trilogy with Djokovic
@@BrandonSG13 You think like that because you didn't watch the first set of the final...
Safin won AOpen in 2005 , 5set semifinal against Fed, so it is 51 of 60
This French Open 2 wishes were granted.
Djokovic: to play like a God
Wawrinka: to play like a God Slayer
Rumor has it the applause for Novak as runner-up was longer than the US Open highlights.
Ouch!
this is most likely true lmao fuck us open highights
That gigantic applause for Djokovic embarrassed Stan judging by the look on his face. But Stan deserved to win as he was simply sensational. It's great to see Stan play like that. He's a fabulously gifted tennis player and it's also very pleasing to see when a player does justice to his/her talent. As we've seen many players are not able to taste success at the highest level because of lack of character and discipline. Yes it's true that Stan flourished very late in his career but atleast he managed to win 3 slams when played his best tennis and that's the most important thing. He's now 36 and in the twilight of his career so I honestly don't feel he will be able to pull off something like this ever again but nevertheless he will forever be remembered as one of the most glorious tennis players with a lethal single handed backhand.
Very well spoken.
21:33 - The best backhand winner in history!
2011 USO Novak Djokovic vs Nadal in 3rd set 3-4 30-40 is the best backhand winner ever considering the rally.
@@nishawadhwa78i90 nhééé
Along with Roger's passing shot at Rafa's match point at Wimbledon 2008
At 21.33 there's nothing.. the camera is showing the fans and court!!
30:55
The crowd with the worst history of sportsmanship and hospitality that day showed probably the most deserving appreciation towards one of the most deserving and underrated player.
Bravo!!!
Go Nole.
Agree with everything else but Underrated?? Maybe we are living in different worlds!! 😂😂
@@pulkitkumar6299 Novak for me is the clear GOAT no doubt. Just breaking the ice around the Fedal romance.
@@arbaazparkar2817 Thanks for telling your views. I was just pointing out that it is really stupid to say that Nole is an underrated players when he is considered among the greats of the game. 😊
@@pulkitkumar6299 well he isn't respected and treated the way Fedal are. That's only what I was pointing. Ofcourse nobody undermines his tennis abilities.
@@arbaazparkar2817 You should look how the Novak's behaviour was on court and off court antics by his family in early part of his career. Fedal have always been very down to humble and that's the reason they are more likable among fans. This doesn't mean that Nole is underrated. This is my view, we can always agree to disagree 👍🏽
As a Nole fan, this hurt like hell. But I gotta say the better man won that day. Stanimal seems to reach new levels when playing against Djokovic. I'm just happy that the year after Nole got that elusive French Open :)
WHen you hurt, I'm happy. Novak is a piece of shit.
@@ProbablyLying When you are happy, in your own words,Then that means a lot of bad energy moves you, so I feel sorry for your family and the people around you. Believe me, you serve as an example to everyone else what a man shouldn't be. And that's the only good thing about you. The only good thing about you,is the benefit of others by looking to become the opposite of you,unfortunate soul
@@gandra1982 it looks like you feel negative emotions about what I wrote... that makes me happy.
@@ProbablyLying Hahaha, i rest my case, be happy 👍
@@ProbablyLying jajajajja what about now? Happy? 😂😂😂
Stan had one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from a tennis player that day
You are right Prison Mike
One of the two stellar performances where Djokovic was defeated while he was on absolute peak. The other was SF of FO in 2011 by Roger 🔥.
Also Cincinnati later this year against Federer
Very true Rodger ended Novak's 46 match win streak to be beaten by the 👑 of 🧱
Just incredible power hitting by stan...to defeat Djokovic at his peak in 2015,2016. Wunderbar
These Swiss guys play some elegant, beautiful tennis
Djokovic loses this but goes on to win next 4 slams in a row. He then goes through elbow injury and when he returns wins 3 slams in a row. He defaults the US Open, loses badly at French Open and now comes back and wins all slams in 2021 so far. Whenever he has a serious setback he learns something new and comes back stronger. Perhaps this, more than anything else, sets him apart.
As for the match, kudos to Stan for providing one of the best efforts ever.
What an absolutely cracking performance from Stan in this one. Never get tired of watching it.
Powerful shots from both Forehand and backhand. His backhand is always talked about. But his forehand though 😍❤️
Wawrinka’s shot power was insane in this match, simply unplayable
Novak 2011 ( best year ) loose to a swiss in 4 set at Roland
Novak 2015 ( best year) loose to a swiss in 4 set in Roland
@lange darm His 2 best years, that's what he means
They both have one handed backhands as well.
The swiss prevented Djokovic from winning the Grand Slam (2011 and 2015), while the spanish prevented Federer (2006 and 2007).
Also both Players who have beaten Nadal in the French Open have lost to Swiss men with one handed backhands in the final.
2011 was by far Novak’s best year! 2015 comes next. In 2011, you never felt Novak would lose a match even when he was match points down. That’s how good he was!
All time great crowd ovation for a runner-up + concession speech by novak. Showed true class.
This was the most impressive performance of a tennis player that I saw in my entire life. Thank you Stan for that afternoon.
Stan, your heart of a champion will inspire me my whole life. Your ability to go for it in toughest moments is a sight to behold. Long live Stan the man
One of the best attributes of Stan the Man.
This final is probably the one that hits Novak the most. He was unstoppable in 2015. He won 8 ATP 1000, final tour 1500, and 3 grand slams. He only needed the 2015 RG to complete the perfect season. Now, he may never reach this peak again due to age and the monster that Alcaraz is morphing into. Imagine if he would of won that final. He would of been immortal.
Yet he isn´t like no man is.
He won 6 M1000, not 8
He won 6 not 8 m1000
He won 68 M1000, not
I remember watching this game live (I was in Paris back then). Djokovic played not bad but Stan was just huge. It seems there was no way he looses this game, his game was near perfect, all his shots were lethal..
The day God decided to play a tennis game in the body of Stan Wawrinka.
shut up idiot
I weirdly agree with both of these comments
A bit disappointed by these highlights compared to a few of the others. This doesn’t show enough how insanely good Stan played. For instance he played one of the greatest games ever to break at 3-2 in the third, and you didn’t show a single point of it!?
These highlights aren't the greatest, just watch highlights from fans on youtube.
I agree. Six minutes spent on introductions 'and' the knock up, you wonder what they were thinking. Stan was on another level in this match.
it seems to be a wrong cut? Tho at least it was the only one. I give the team props for making this vid 40 minutes
They didn't even show stans speech lol
Stan is the only player that shook Novak physically & mentally
Wawrinka, when he is fit, is a monster. And the most beautiful backhand this sport has ever seen, with Justine Henin's backhand for the WTA. ❤
Fed's is more beautiful than Stan's
@@Ben6164 humm... no.
@@KimiRai-lf3gn A matter of personal opinion, I guess.
Stan Warinka has one of the smoothest backhands in human history.
Best one hand backhand for sure
This is in my opinion the highest level of tennis ever played by any two players in history. Djokovic playing at his best, beating Nadal in his own shrine of RG. Only outmatched by the best level ever by any player, from Wawrinka.
Gross exaggeration. Nadal was far from his best in 2015. At his best, Nadal is by far the best ever in RG, with no one coming even close. Hence, the highest level of tennis in RG must include Nadal at his best (e.g. Nadal-Djokovic, Nadal-Thiem, etc).
It was an awesome win by Stan who played the greatest match of his life no question & obviously deserved this title. However, the greatest level at Roland Garros was Rafa Nadal in 2008 when he demolished the field & humiliated Roger Federer 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 after taking out the Djoker in straight sets. The only player who came close to this level was Nadal in 2017 who destroyed Stan Wawrinka 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 & Rafa in 2020 who put Djoker to the sword 6-0, 6-2, 7-5. Nadal's level in these tournaments was simply too good for any other player in tennis history on clay.
@Adrian only in clay other surfaces it's Djokovic.

I still get emotional watching the ceremony of this match
I was glad for Stan while watching the match,
but just look at the crowd's applause at runner's up trophy presentation and Djokovic's reaction, phew!!
One should be proud still to have won the hearts of many people and earned so much respect from them. That's probably more difficult than winning a slam. At least at that moment, Novak looked to me like a champion.
Stan on form is a sight to behold. This was one of the all-time great clay court performances.
This was the heaviest defeat in Djokovic's career, but he endured it as a champion.
An amazing match was played by Stan. Something best ever seen in tennis.
Actually beating Nadal at the FO only to still not win the tournament had to be deflating. But he pulled off both feats in 2021.
It’s the funky pants. They gave Stan power
One of the best finals in history. Best SH backhand in the game vs. best all round player at their peak. Stan’s game is a delight to watch.
Amazing performance from Stanimal.
After the long standing touching ovation for Djokovic, even iron Novak was on the brink of shedding a tear, he realized he would rid the mind of doubt, he'd work even harder to grab this elusive title. And next year he did it. Bravo Nole!
He was trying to steal the limelight from Wawrinka. He even threw shade at Wawrinka in his speech.."what's more important than winning..." trying to negate the fact that he lost. This is Novak's style.. and everyone' starting to see it.

Think this is my favourite match ever. Watched it loads of times and it never gets boring. The shot making from Stan is incredible.
No one has been able to copy Stan’s incredible ability to just hit through Djokovic in these Slam finals.
My most heartbreaking loss of Nole ever. He defetaed Rafa for first time ever on RG and after thrilling two day semifinal match with Murray he was clear favourite on paper to defeat Stan and finally complete career Grand Slam. Nole took first set and it looked like road was open for first RG crown but instead Stan showed his best performance on clay ever.
We need more and more RG classics like this.
Let’s not forget that 2015 was one of Novak’s best season ever
This was an epic match! Thanks for these highlights RG
One of the best finals in history , top level tennis, the attacking and defending play from both players were outstanding, can feel the intensity and pressure just by watching it
Wawrinka deserved to win many more GS but couldn't win beyond 3 in his illustrious career. The way he handled Djokovic in this match was truly incredible as Djokovic who's known as the best returner of the game was just passing all the difficult returns of Wawrinka. So, Wawrinka just played his best tennis, kept calm, composed & played exemplarily well during the crucial moments to seal the match in 4 sets when Djokovic was leading 3-1 in the 4th. He also went on next year to beat the same Djokovic in the US Open Final but couldn't win Wimbledon. This is the version of Wawrinka we all wanted to witness forever so that we could witness some other competitive players besides the Big 3 in tennis..
Stan Wawrinka was at that moment maybe the best player in the world.
During 2013-2017, when Wawrinka was ON, no one could beat him.
FACTS!!!
@@aesir1ases64Still he won only 3 GS in those 4 years.
Awesome match! Love an upset of this quality ... well done Stan the Man!
one of the best final I saw in RG lately. Wawrinka playing his best is aa joy to watch
God the fact that Djokovic and Federer had like 5 chances to win and complete a calendar year grand slam and not do it is just a testament to how unbelievable that feat is. This and 2011 were the 2 best chances but how he didn't in 15 was and is still insane to me
Back from RG 2020 Final. Love his eye tears!!
I love these highlights. It's like a condensed but full version of the coverage. Well done RG 🙏👌
Best showing by an individual ...
Djokovic didnt played bad but stan was just firing winners after winners
Glorious days in tennis history!
blessed to see one of the greatest if not the greatest single backhands there has ever been
thank you Roland Garros
For me, this is the highest level performance ever achieved by human being.Novak would never have beaten Stan in this match, neither would anyone else in the history of tennis. He basically replicated and improved Soderlings performance years earlier, both of whowere abnormally physically strong men, with unreplicable power in groundstrokes.
when stan is on, it is the highest level, he has achieved this on a couple of other occasions also.He's just not consistent
2021 Novak would win. Watch him play against Nadal, embarrassing match for nadal. Or even this year's at RG
@@razpaqhvh75012022 rafa beat novak at rg?
Remember watching this match! Djokovic didn’t try to miss things up & started S & V at the very end. No slices, no short inside out approach. Wawrinka was pumping down the lines from both the wings!
This match always cheers me up when I'm sad, so I keep returning to this video. Inspiring how Djokovic was staging one of his classic comebacks and pried the door open in the fourth, while Wawrinka summoned the Stanimal to firmly shut it and clinch the title.
These two always play awesome matches
Djokovic thought beating Nadal at RG was enough of an accomplishment at the venue.
It sure was, but only because of Nadal’s record at RG, not because of the difficulty of the task in that specific year (Nadal was hot trash in 2015)
To do it is hard
These videos are a really great length. More than a highlight real, but less than the full match.
Stan gave us one of the most unforgettable grand slam finals performances ever. Absolutely incredible tennis against an in form Djokovic. Waaaauw.
Still love this match awesome play from both and would love to see Stan at his prime again
Hate to say it, but I think we won't see this again...
Classy match and classy players. Novak Djokovic: Man of Steel at that point in his career. Stan was great on that day, great, and he earned the win. I as a Djokovic fan am happy to leave it at that.
@16:18 16:57 21:43 24:11 30:15 30:57 34:18
Wawrinka played solid tennis from 2013-2016. Picked up 3 Grand Slam titles. That is really impressive when you think that he took those titles in presence of big 3. Technically, Nadal and Federer were dealing with injuries and possibly Nadal's worst years of his tennis career (especially 2015, 2016). Even though Juan Martín del Potro, Marin Čilić and now Dominic Thiem won single grand slam but only Stanislas Wawrinka and Andy Murray have the honors of capturing multiple Grad Slam in the dominating era of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. History will always appreciate the amazing achievements by these fierce competitors. There is still a slim chance if he can win one Wimbledon title, complete his Career Grand Slam and go in history books alongside five other men.
What a classy crowd. I'll never forget this.
The music before a big point, the subtitles - all spoil the watch by telling us what's about to happen before it does. We have eyes and brains, let us enjoy what you've graciously uploaded here
This was awesome. One thing with Novak is that there are a lot more players that can hit harder than him. He's just more consistent. He'll move around the ball and he'll make his opponent hit a lot more shots than they're comfortable with. If you can keep hitting as many balls as he can then you can actually win the point against him. In this case, Stan came in more consistent and with a lot more fire power than Novak. That's why he won.
Thanks for telling me what's about to happen next. It really makes it more exciting.
What performance by both of them tremendous Respect 👏
I wish for stan to win wimbeldon so he can complete grand slam

@@tuantrananh4015 But Rafa was terrible in 2015!
His one-hander down the line in this match was god level. He was firing lasers on the backhand. I honestly think his was better than Djokovic's (best backhand in tennis history imo) on this day. This match was so enjoyable. I've re-watched it dozens of times
best highlights i ever seen with the dramatic roland garros theme song at the end of the sets.
Stan's game matched up well with Djokovic's. And Djokovic knew it.
The best tennis performance ever!!! Stan the G.O.A.T 🐐
That ovation for Novak at the end... It's ot often that you see him on the brink of tears, that's how much it meant to him. What a beautiful moment. 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Life indeed has come back a full circle for Novak since 2015 to 2021 - both years he defeated Nadal in Semis but ended winning only in 2021
in his defeat 2015 he said about character and respect for his opponents - this shows his greatness
he is the epitome of being 'humble in victory gracious in defeat'
me, having something very urgent to do.
*roland garros alert

weeeell, it can wait 40 minutes more
I don't understand why Stan has done so poorly at Wimbledon. He has great touch round the net, serves like a beast, has great blocked returns etc
Hits big on both wings, but needs time to set up his shots - faster surfaces like grass with a relatively low bounce take that away. Thiem, another player who can hit through Djokovic, has the same issue. Very effective on clay / hard courts when firing on all cylinders and keeping UFE’s down, but their games don’t translate to grass.
What a performance from Stan and Djokovic.. Look at the applause for both the players, they deserved it.. fantastic crowd.
Esa final como la disfrute fue increíble
27:38 I love this winner-grunt from Nole and his little celebration afterwards, so much energy, and positivism, I was excited maybe he could have turned it around, the next game he had 3 consecutive break points, but the end of the day Stan was amazing, and deservedly won.
This is the match that got me interested in tennis. An epic battle with some gorgeous strokes.
And the greatest pair of shorts to grace Roland Garros!
Such a good times
what a privilige to watch a match like that...Stan in God Mode and Djokovic at his best! Just incredible!
