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.
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!
