Stanislas Wawrinka(Stan) beats Novak Djokovic (Nole) Final French Open 2015

In an unprecedented French Open Final, Stanislas Wawrinka (Swiss) beats Novak Djokovic (Serbia) on this day June 7, 2015 in Roland Garros, Paris France. Stunning victory for the Swiss master. Nole played a phenomenal game but unlike his usual game had to play defensive! Stan's shots from both the forehand and backhand kept Nole from playing his usual aggressive game. Stanilas made 60 winners in this final. Amazing. Wawrinka serve and his return were impeccable. Not a chink in the armour. Took 4 sets but I do not think Nole had a chance. There were moments for the Joker but they were short lived. In the 3rd Set, the joker died. No fun but a heckuva shot.

Stanislas Backhand Winner down the line turns the tide

As we all know Novak Djokovich had to play Rafa Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinal, then Andy Murray in the Semi-final and they were not easy matches. These kind of matches take their toll on players. Somewhat unreported is the amount of energy needed to keep on, keeping on. In the case of Novak my belief is when he needed to be at his best and highest he was a bit out of the energy needed. As I stated his energy was not enough to go on the offensive this day. Having said all that he still played quite well.  So the Swiss player Stan did his thing. He kept Nole from ever coming out of the gate. Unlike The triple crown winner, American Pharoah winner of the Belmont stakes yesterday, who kept the momentum and the energy to play to win a place in the history books.

What is on the horizon, we cannot tell. Wimbledon is around the corner and Nole did not get his Grand Slam. This was Stanislas 2nd Grand Slam Title. He wins Almost $2 million dollars (1.96). As does our local lady Serena Williams. The American beat Lucie Safarova 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-2 for a resounding 20th Major. She will probably overtake Steffi Graf for the record of 22 Majors. Safarova played some great tennis. Serena was overcome by flu and she rebounded. Very tough. Go ladies. Congratulations to all the contestants in the French. Great Tennis!

French Open Final 2015 in Quarterfinals Novak Djokovich vs. Rafael Nadal!

Last Year 2014 the Finals French Open Headline was:

"Rafael Nadal (Rafa) Beats Novak Djokovic (The Joker) For Ninth French Open Win! "

This year is a bit different. Rafa and The Joker will face each other tomorrow at The French Open. Coverage will begin in the morning June 3rd at 8 am Eastern Standard Time on ESPN2. This to me is as big as the finals. Hate to say this as I am rooting for Rafa, Novak will be favored. Novak has not lost in quite some time (26 consecutive matches won). Rafa on the other hand is meeting Djokovich because he has fallen in the mens ATP standings. Nadal is ranked 7th. They have met 6 times and this will be their 7th meeting. Novak Djokovich is ranked No. 1. The Joker is the favorite even though Nadal has won the French nine times. This match is one of the highlights of the 2015 French Open. Nadal is not happy about having to meet him now but as they say Life on Life's Terms. Good Luck Gentlemen!

2008 French Open Winner Anna Ivanovic

On the Womens side, Anna Ivanovic beat Elina Svitolina 6-3 6-2 on a windy day with ease. 

She will meet Lucie Safarova (CZE) for a place in the semifinal after the Czech beat Garbine Muguruza 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.

Ivanovic won the French Open in 2008. Anna with her extreme Semi Western is striking the ball well. Safarova is an accomplished player ranked 13. Anna is ranked No. 7. Her boyfriend was there to cheer her on...

There is going to be a good match when Ivanovic meets Safarova. Good Luck Ladies!

The Bryan Brothers (USA) defeated the duo of Dustin Brown (Dusty (Ger)) and Adrian Mannarino (Fr) in straight sets 6-3, 7-5 in their first round match Wednesday.

Was there yesterday and the challengers looked good. The Bryan Brothers who have won over 11 million in their career had to struggle in Center Stadium in Delray Beach Tennis Center in Delray Beach, FL to win even though they beat them in straight sets. Bob Bryan hit an amazing trick shot at the net. A half volley behind the back that was slammed at him near the net.  Here is the link: http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2015/02/7/Delray-Beach-Wednesday-Bryans-Hot-Shot.aspx#ooid=BzYXRnczqFX6mlBPDaEtB3B9ze2S3kKF  . One of the most amazing shots of the year. Watch this! They are favored in Doubles but will have a tough time with the ever tough team of Raven Klaasen (RSA) / Leander Paes (IND). But as I wrote earlier in this article it is anyone's tournament.
