Stan the Man Wawrinka is one of the most talented players in (relatively) recent tennis history, at his best he had moments of magic that were only approached by Federer. Glad that he got to win a few Grand Slams.
Also, too bad that Dimitrov didn't peak higher, but he gave it a go, so there's that.
- mym1990 3y agoDimitrovs game is beautiful, hence why he was called Baby Fed, but I think his mental game has never quite been there. Stan is a monster!
- potamic 3y agoWawrinka's single handed is arguably better than many double handers out there. It's combination of power and spin is unmatched. He can play the whole range of shots, gets incredible accuracy and appears to be repeatable enough to exchange rallies against the best forehand all day. Which makes me wonder why no one has been able to replicate it. Either he's a freak blessed with unique mechanics to be able to perform this shot or there's not enough people trying.
- nyjah 3y agoDimitrov has had an incredible career too. They hyped him, "Baby Fed" - and maybe he didn't live up to that (one of the greatest ever), but Grigor has been as high as 3 in the world and has been in the top 30 for over a decade. Every time he's dipped he's come back in better shape and got better results. He's won a Masters 1000 and while its not a grand slam, still an incredible achievement in the big 3 era. I got love for G, but you are right, I wish he peaked higher too. I always thought when he saw Thiem win the US Open he got motivated to try and get one himself. But now Alcaraz and a bunch of others that are just too strong. Definitely think he missed his window.
