So Wawrinka meets Djokovic in 3rd round and has an opportunity to complete Djokovic slam of beating him atleast once at all 4 majors, something which only Federer has it or someone can correct me if there is anyone else

Even if Wawrinka wins the match , Nadal and Federer will still sit at 22/20. And Djokovic will turn to USO hard court

Good consolation...even before the match starts. This wawrinka is not even 30% of his best. He doesn't have the stamina to grind in a 5 setter. So djoker in 3/4 sets.

You should prepare for some therapy. If the spirit of Stanimal walks in to centre court. May be someone will retire mid match like 2019 USO 4th rd. How embarrassing that would be.

I know, I just wanted to show that even Rafa uber aggressive game like in 2012 and 2018 cant beat rested Novak at AO and Wimbledon. He needs some outside factor, like zero day of rest at Wimby for Novak or Carlos pushing him to 5 hour match.
Rafa was the better player but was unlucky in the last set leading 4-1 still lost.

In 2018 he wasn't at this best like 2008-10. But still he had many chances in 3rd and 5th set to close it.

Wawrinka will not win. The grass is too fast surface for him, because he doesn't have time to get to his ideal strokes. That's why grass is his weakest surface and Wimbledon the only Grand Slam where he's never achieved a SF, let alone a trophy.

True for that one shot in 2012 final, but break or match points are not enough to guarantee you a win against Novak.

He will be the only one who has defeated Djokovic on Plexicushion, USO hard courts, French Open and Wimbledon 2maro that’s a big IF.

Djokovic lucky as usual...able to avoid his nemesis at Wimbledon during the 2010s (a really big thanks to 2015 Gasquet), and now facing him for the first time when Wawrinka has not gone beyond the 3rd round in his last 7 slam appearances.

That said, because of their past slam history, Stan is perhaps the only obstacle in preventing Nole from making the final...which says it all about men's tennis.

Stan will turn up tomorrow i am pretty certain of that. He will becuase it's Novak and i think he is one of few players who actually relishes playing him in a slam.

I saw some of match today and Stan was in very good form really hitting through his shots. Also i think he is one of the very few players that Novak will be wary of in a GS.

Novak's best bet is to really get Stan moving all round the court as that is the one area where Stan is struggling more with because of age and previous injury.

Make no mistake if Stan gets a chance to win he won't throw it away easily like some of next Gen.

Lets face it, everyone is going to be watching this one. All this talk about Stan being done....it doesn't change a thing. We all know there is an X factor when these two play in slams.
Depends on OOP.I should have taken 2 weeks off from work

Hopefully it will be warm weather that will make conditions faster
