French Open: Wawrinka stuns Djokovic

When it comes to grand slam finals, Stan
Wawrinka is used to playing spoiler.
After upsetting Rafael Nadal at the Australian
Open last year, he engineered another major
surprise Sunday by topping world No. 1 Novak
Djokovic 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4 in the French Open final
to claim his second major title.
Wawrinka isn't a member of the "Big Four," but
his achievement at Roland Garros means the
Swiss now has the same number of grand slam
trophies as Andy Murray.
While the Scot owns a 2-6 record in major finals,
Wawrinka is a perfect 2-0.
"I still have a problem to really realize that I won
the French Open," Wawrinka told reporters. "It's
always the same after winning a big title. You are
a little bit lost in your mind."
Djokovic sunk to 8-8 and out went his 28-match
winning streak overall.
"Of course it hurts, especially because it was in
the final," Djokovic told reporters. "I think I've
played a great clay-court season, a great Roland
Garros, came to the position to really win this
trophy."
He must be wondering if he'll ever win the grand
slam he so desperately craves and complete his
collection. In the last two years, Djokovic hasn't
made it a secret that triumphing on the red clay
in Paris was his main objective.
"I know he's looking badly and desperately for
this title," said the eighth-seeded Wawrinka.
But with each passing year and no title, he moves
closer to the likes of Pete Sampras and Boris
Becker -- one of his coaches -- in never winning
the French Open while bagging the three other
majors.
