US Open F: Djokovic vs. Wawrinka

[Riotbeard]

Yeah, I put Stan ahead as well. 3 for 3 in slam finals is more impressive than 3 for 11 IMO.

I dont know SMG, it was a weird tournament for Novak.

Time to brag.

Isabelle, Delpofearhand and GSM got the correct prediction for Women's final, Angie in 3.

Only GSM got both final predictions right, including the number of sets. :celeb:

Would've been a tasty double if you had a bet down for the number of sets in each final instead of just both winning. Hope you had some bet down

Congratulations to Stan Wawrinka! He once again proved that he is a nemesis to Djokovic (at slams) and when he is ON, he is very tough to beat at a Slam.

As for Djokovic, all the physical nagging injuries finally caught up to him at the final. Also, he became Federer at this year's US Open final with an abysmal 3 for 17 (18%) on break points conversion. Finally, he only served 51% for the whole match so there was something wrong with his shoulder.

Here's an interesting stat: Djokovic has 5 losses in slams after winning the 1st set. 4 of those losses came since 2014. And here's another interesting stat: 3 of those losses were against Wawrinka (2014 AO, 2015 RG, and 2016 US Open) and 3 of those losses happened in the final (2014 RG, 2015 RG, and 2016 US Open).

I find the talk of players being "on" a bit unfortunate, especially in light of the debates on other forums Wawrinka is now the only player on tour currently to have won 2 slams over the age of 30.
