Stanislas Wawrinka shocks No. 1 Rafael Nadal and the rest of the tennis fans to win Australian Open for the first time in his life.
Sunday, January 26th is when the tennis history changed, and when Stanislas Wawrinka won Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia. Stanislas found himself in the finals of Australian Open with one of the greatest players in the tennis history, Rafael Nadal. Even though no one really believed in him, Wawrinka found various ways to defeat the tennis legend.
The injury that stroke Nadal all of the sudden, made the path for Wawrinka for winning the Australian Open even easier that in was before. But of course, Nadal's injury doesn't change the fact that even before his injury, Wawrinka yet played his best tennis of his life. Even though Nadal' had very hard time struggling with his back injury, he did not decide to quit. He continued fighting till the end of the match, and eventually lost in only 2h and 21 minutes in 4 sets: 6:3, 6:2, 3:6, 6:3.
''Last year I lost a semi-final in five sets to Novak and even if I had won that match, I had to play with Rafa afterwards in the finals. That's why I never dreamed about winning a grand slam. I don't think a lot of people in Switzerland were expecting me to win this grand slam'', Wawrinka said after winning.
Even though it was only one match, Wawrinka jumped from No.8 to No.3 on the ATP List after winning the finals. As already mentioned, he did not see himself as a potential winner, but he still surprised all of us, especially in the last set of the match. At that point, Wawrinka gave the best of himself and he found himself serving for the match when the result was already 5:3 where right afterwards he won.
