  • Will Wawrinka complete his Novak slam?

    From *skriptis@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 6 18:48:02 2023
    He beat Djokovic at:

    2014 AO
    2015 FO
    2016 USO
    2019 USO

    2023 Wimbledon?


    Wawrinka also lost to Djokovic at 2012 USO and 2013 AO so Djokovic is not without a chance here.

    It would be ironic if he beat Novak here. And funny.


    How can you be goat if you lose to Wawrinka in all slams? :)

    If Stan wins Wimbledon then he'll be a rare career slammer (only 8 guys
    have done it so far). Not embarrassing to lose against that level?

    Stan's grass creds have never been high. Not a single title. Never at SF stage at Wimb.

    Maybe too much to ask from 38y?

    Nothing to lose so just let it rip. If he can serve smart and back it
    up you never know. If he can win 1st set I'll give him 33% chance of
    winning - not sure what that is overall : )

    Too much it was to ask.

    Wawrinka served poorly, but yet still easy 3-setter for Djoker.

    Stan should've won the tiebreak, but couldn't be bothered, quite annoying.
