AO 2014 QF: Novak Djokovic (2) vs Stanislas Wawrinka (8)

[OTMPut]

Amazing final set from Stan.
He showed he has a big heart and the game to match it.

 

[Tenez101]

I'm going to steal this pic if you don't mind...

 

[lendledbergfan]

Djoko out. The Boris effect kicking in?

Not yet. He's still losing close 5-setters

 

[Hood_Man]

F1Bob, good luck to you.

 

[DolgoSantoro]

This year we may have a surprise finalist in AO - didn't happen since '08. Although I don't know if Berdych counts, since he's already been a slam finalist.

Nobody here would've called him making even the SF before the tourney began, so he counts. Only question is who'll smash him if he makes it there.

 

[rainingaces]

Wawrinka and Federer all Swiss final. Vamos.

 

[Kalin]

Classy behaviour from both players after the match.... respect

 

[TheF1Bob]

it feels nice to troll Nadal threads doesn't it? Go get drunk and wipe those tears away. Thank You!!

LOL if you say so The-Chump.

 

[bluetrain4]

What was Djokovic doing on that final point:?:?:?:shock::shock::shock:

Yeah, the missed drop shot off the mishit return on the previous point sort of mad sense, but that last volley was an unexpected error. I'm sure Stan's not losing any sleep over it. LOL.

 

[cjs]

This place is gonna be unbearable if Stan wins this.

Stan won. Is it that bad?

 

[cronus]

Give mucha copa now!

 

[Nickzor]

YEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm literally shedding a tear here, me and my GF just went spastic when Nole hit that last ball out, I mean i love Djoker but hell did i want Stan to win, especially after last year and that loss at the US open in 5 to Djoker, ohh mannn i feel sooo damnn relieved at happy right now, GO STAN!!!!!

 

[Devil_dog]

Stanimal!!! Epic win. "Failed Better!" lol

 

[Rozroz]

Nadal just need to sweep out the rest for an easy title.

 

[TheF1Bob]

F1Bob, good luck to you.

I'm alright, just disappointed that's all.

 

[joeri888]

Great match and MASSIVE result for Stan whos been consistent for a year now. I hope he can recover and make his first slam final. I see him having a shot there against anyone but Nadal. IF hes fit That is.

 

[fecaleagle]

About six hours ago, my fiancée told me it was going to be Djokovic in four and I needed to catch up on sleep. Really overjoyed for Stan. As I Nadal fan, I can honestly say I'd be perfectly content if Nadal loses to Dimitrov at this point. Wonderful stuff!

Edit: also glad I didn't listen for a change.

 

[The-Champ]

LOL really chump, I mean really!?

why are you so mad Blob? What you do is troll every Nadal match thread, the mods can attest to that. I do this once!

 

[tennisjedi]

Great win for Stan

I don't mind if he wins AO, even if he beats Rafa.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Such Win, Many Respect, Kappax3


Audi S4.


Wow.

 

[eliars]

Wow. Djokovic choked big time on that MP.

Well, Stan deserved it especially after those 2 close 5 set defeats against Djokovic.

 

[Blinkism]

Djkovoic should definitely stick with Becker. Yeah.

That'd be nice.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Good win for Stan.

And that marks the end of Djokovic.

 

[bluetrain4]

Is it me or is Wawrinka kinda puffy for a pro?

I don't think so. He just has a really round head, which maybe gives off an overall puffy vibe. Plus, he's across the net from Djokovic who is as thin as a coked-out runway model, so in contrast Wawa maybe looks puffy.

I know children often look like their parents, but Stan is a clone of his father.

 

[sbengte]

Wow. Djokovic choked big time on that MP.

Well, Stan deserved it especially after those 2 close 5 set defeats against Djokovic.

Make a mental note of that the next time you ridicule someone for being realistic.

 

[abmk]

well, well, those last 2 points were shockers from djokovic, the last one even more so !

congrats to stan !!!!

[Dan Z]

massively happy at that result. really well deserved and hopefully a sign things to come from Stan.

 

[TheF1Bob]

why are you so mad Blob? What you do is troll every Nadal match thread, the mods can attest to that. I do this once!

I think you've got me confused with someone else.

 

[ManFed]

Now nobody can stop Nadal for his 14th slam

 

[heninfan99]

Wow. There his hope in the world! SO HAPPY FOR STAN!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

Awesome performance from Stan the man. Every tennis fan would have enjoyed that match and Stan's awesome shot making

Vamos!!

 

[AYone]

Big Stan! Can he go the distance?

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Awsome performance from Stan the man. Every tennis fan would have enjoyed that match.

Vamos!!

 

[DragonBlaze]

CONGRATS to the Stan the man. So happy for him. What a great result for him. Losing yet another 5 setter to Djoker would have been pretty demoralizing. Damn he's really gotten better over the past year or so.

Chin up to Djoker fans. He's got to focus on RG anyway. That's more important now. Don't know about this whole Becker thing to be honest.

 

[eliars]

Make a mental note of that the next time you ridicule someone for being realistic.

What? Are you referring to predicting Federer to lose a set to Tsonga after having dominated that set being up 5-2?

 

[Djokovic2011]

And there was me saying the other day how lightning doesn't strike twice! I thought Djokovic would win in 4 but Stan definitely deserved it. It has to be said though that Novak was in pusher mode for a large portion of the match and his forehand seems to have regressed-very bewildering. It will be interesting to see how his relationship with Becker goes from here.

 

[Backspin1183]

No #1 ranking for Novak Djokovic this year, I guess.

How many ranking points does he lose after this defeat?

 

[TheF1Bob]

Awesome performance from Stan the man. Every tennis fan would have enjoyed that match and Stan's awesome shot making

Vamos!!

Stay classy.

 

[cjs]

So can we all agree Djokovic is out of the discussion for all-time great?

Er... no.

6 slams now, 10+ by the time he retires, one of the best ever seasons 2011 - how can impartial fan of tennis consider him not a great?

 

[Cormorant]

I assumed Becker gifted Djokovic "Volleying for Dummies" for Christmas. Was it lost in the mail?

 

[TfReAk]

I really hope Rafa doesn't win this AO now. It would be nice if someone wins it who hasn't won a slam already.

 

[The-Champ]

Where's Incognito? She was so depressed that delphony lost, I'm sure this result will cheer her up LOL

 

[exstatechampmass]

No #1 ranking for Novak Djokovic this year, I guess.

How many ranking points does he lose after this defeat?

over 1300

10car

 

[m2nk2]

Er... no.

6 slams now, 10+ by the time he retires, one of the best ever seasons 2011 - how can impartial fan of tennis consider him not a great?

He might become an all time great, but not Goat...

 

[cjs]

delete post.

 

[m2nk2]

Berdych is looking now!

Wawa won't win, cause 1hbh will never ever win a slam again.

 

[aldeayeah]

Who cares about Nadal.

Stan is the Man.

WAMOS!

 

[Cormorant]

I hope Wawrinka's cramps weren't too serious. He has a big opportunity to get to the final if he recuperates sufficiently.
