What a performance by Stan. I haven't seen anyone hit so many lines in 3 hours since Leonardo Dicaprio in Wolf of Wall Street!

Hell yes, 40 mins of stan’s beautiful shorts

Let's put this stat down one more time: both people to have defeated Nadal at RG have made the final and lost to a Swiss man with a one-hand backhand.

At his best, Wawrinka was a match for anyone. He beat the Big Three to win his 3 Grand Slams, twice against Djokovic at his peak in the Final to win the French and the US Open. He played some of the most amazing shots during this final, especially with his backhand. He possesses perhaps the best one-handed backhand in the game.

The ovation for Novak was very heart warming. I've never seen a runner-up get such an ovation

I like how Wawrinka celebrates as if it was just qualifying match 😂

Stan the man was a joy to watch in 14-15-16. Glad he solidified it with 3 Grands.

Honestly, one of the best finals in the last 10 years

Dude won against world number 1 in every final of every GS he won lol. Beastly

May be the best performance by a single player ever. Wawrinka really put on a show in this match.

I was lucky to be there...this final will remain in my memory forever

That was peak Stan, absolute peak when he was given the hammer of Thor and destroyed all who stood in his way.

This French Open 2 wishes were granted. Djokovic: to play like a God Wawrinka: to play like a God Slayer

I was hell scared to see the level of tennis produced by wawrinka...the best ever year of djokovic and yet wawrinka does this to novak...it simply is beyond words...its the most underrated finals of all times..

To think, winning the french open against one of the best players of all time at their absolute peak (2015 Novak, considered one of the best tennis seasons of all time).. what an incredible match by Stan.

Rumor has it the applause for Novak as runner-up was longer than the US Open highlights.

That gigantic applause for Djokovic embarrassed Stan judging by the look on his face. But Stan deserved to win as he was simply sensational. It's great to see Stan play like that. He's a fabulously gifted tennis player and it's also very pleasing to see when a player does justice to his/her talent. As we've seen many players are not able to taste success at the highest level because of lack of character and discipline. Yes it's true that Stan flourished very late in his career but atleast he managed to win 3 slams when played his best tennis and that's the most important thing. He's now 36 and in the twilight of his career so I honestly don't feel he will be able to pull off something like this ever again but nevertheless he will forever be remembered as one of the most glorious tennis players with a lethal single handed backhand.

To be honest this is why I respect Djokovic so much. He is one of the best “losers” in the professional sports, if not the best. If this is not hard enough, he is also the best champion. What a man.

21:33 - The best backhand winner in history!

The day God decided to play a tennis game in the body of Stan Wawrinka.

How can someone hate this guy?.. those tears, I think those are the emotions because for the first time he fell loved, all the time the crowd is against him. Novak you have lot of fans all around the world, we are just too poor to buy a match tickets sorry

Novak 2011 ( best year ) loose to a swiss in 4 set at Roland Novak 2015 ( best year) loose to a swiss in 4 set in Roland

In praise of just outhitting the other guy: In the 15 year span of 05 through 19, The mighty Fed, Rafa, and Djokovic won 52 of the 60 Grand Slams. Murray, a fundamentally defensive, counter-punching player, won 3. The other 5 were 3 from Stan, one for Delpo, and one for Cilic. I'd argue that because the Stanimal was able to do it 3 times, against giants that no one else could fell, he holds a really special place in tennis history. And this was his absolute best match. No one thought he could win this, and even midway through the 2nd set the rational thought was that Djokovic had, at minimum, an 80-90% chance of winning.

These Swiss guys play some elegant, beautiful tennis

Wawrinka’s shot power was insane in this match, simply unplayable

Stan is the only player that shook Novak physically & mentally

Djokovic loses this but goes on to win next 4 slams in a row. He then goes through elbow injury and when he returns wins 3 slams in a row. He defaults the US Open, loses badly at French Open and now comes back and wins all slams in 2021 so far. Whenever he has a serious setback he learns something new and comes back stronger. Perhaps this, more than anything else, sets him apart. As for the match, kudos to Stan for providing one of the best efforts ever.

A bit disappointed by these highlights compared to a few of the others. This doesn’t show enough how insanely good Stan played. For instance he played one of the greatest games ever to break at 3-2 in the third, and you didn’t show a single point of it!?

Stan had one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from a tennis player that day

All time great crowd ovation for a runner-up + concession speech by novak. Showed true class.

Just incredible power hitting by stan...to defeat Djokovic at his peak in 2015,2016. Wunderbar

What an absolutely cracking performance from Stan in this one. Never get tired of watching it. Powerful shots from both Forehand and backhand. His backhand is always talked about. But his forehand though 😍❤️

Stan, your heart of a champion will inspire me my whole life. Your ability to go for it in toughest moments is a sight to behold. Long live Stan the man

It’s the funky pants. They gave Stan power

The crowd with the worst history of sportsmanship and hospitality that day showed probably the most deserving appreciation towards one of the most deserving and underrated player. Bravo!!! Go Nole.

I still get emotional watching the ceremony of this match

This was the most impressive performance of a tennis player that I saw in my entire life. Thank you Stan for that afternoon.

me, having something very urgent to do. *roland garros alert * weeeell, it can wait 40 minutes more

As a Nole fan, this hurt like hell. But I gotta say the better man won that day. Stanimal seems to reach new levels when playing against Djokovic. I'm just happy that the year after Nole got that elusive French Open :)

One of the two stellar performances where Djokovic was defeated while he was on absolute peak. The other was SF of FO in 2011 by Roger 🔥.

This is in my opinion the highest level of tennis ever played by any two players in history. Djokovic playing at his best, beating Nadal in his own shrine of RG. Only outmatched by the best level ever by any player, from Wawrinka.

Let’s not forget that 2015 was one of Novak’s best season ever

Amazing performance from Stanimal.

This final is probably the one that hits Novak the most. He was unstoppable in 2015. He won 8 ATP 1000, final tour 1500, and 3 grand slams. He only needed the 2015 RG to complete the perfect season. Now, he may never reach this peak again due to age and the monster that Alcaraz is morphing into. Imagine if he would of won that final. He would of been immortal.

Stan on form is a sight to behold. This was one of the all-time great clay court performances.

No one has been able to copy Stan’s incredible ability to just hit through Djokovic in these Slam finals.

I remember watching this game live (I was in Paris back then). Djokovic played not bad but Stan was just huge. It seems there was no way he looses this game, his game was near perfect, all his shots were lethal..

My most heartbreaking loss of Nole ever. He defetaed Rafa for first time ever on RG and after thrilling two day semifinal match with Murray he was clear favourite on paper to defeat Stan and finally complete career Grand Slam. Nole took first set and it looked like road was open for first RG crown but instead Stan showed his best performance on clay ever.

Stan Wawrinka was at that moment maybe the best player in the world.

This was an epic match! Thanks for these highlights RG

One of the best finals in history. Best SH backhand in the game vs. best all round player at their peak. Stan’s game is a delight to watch.

o my god who can hold his/her tears while seeing novak getting emotional at the end.an inspiration for evrryone simply a living legend

One of the best finals in history , top level tennis, the attacking and defending play from both players were outstanding, can feel the intensity and pressure just by watching it

Think this is my favourite match ever. Watched it loads of times and it never gets boring. The shot making from Stan is incredible.

Stan's game matched up well with Djokovic's. And Djokovic knew it.

Djokovic thought beating Nadal at RG was enough of an accomplishment at the venue.

one of the best final I saw in RG lately. Wawrinka playing his best is aa joy to watch

I love these highlights. It's like a condensed but full version of the coverage. Well done RG 🙏👌

This was the heaviest defeat in Djokovic's career, but he endured it as a champion. An amazing match was played by Stan. Something best ever seen in tennis.

We need more and more RG classics like this.

Wawrinka, when he is fit, is a monster. And the most beautiful backhand this sport has ever seen, with Justine Henin's backhand for the WTA. ❤

God the fact that Djokovic and Federer had like 5 chances to win and complete a calendar year grand slam and not do it is just a testament to how unbelievable that feat is. This and 2011 were the 2 best chances but how he didn't in 15 was and is still insane to me

I was glad for Stan while watching the match, but just look at the crowd's applause at runner's up trophy presentation and Djokovic's reaction, phew!! One should be proud still to have won the hearts of many people and earned so much respect from them. That's probably more difficult than winning a slam. At least at that moment, Novak looked to me like a champion.

Best showing by an individual ... Djokovic didnt played bad but stan was just firing winners after winners

thank you Roland Garros

Wawrinka deserved to win many more GS but couldn't win beyond 3 in his illustrious career. The way he handled Djokovic in this match was truly incredible as Djokovic who's known as the best returner of the game was just passing all the difficult returns of Wawrinka. So, Wawrinka just played his best tennis, kept calm, composed & played exemplarily well during the crucial moments to seal the match in 4 sets when Djokovic was leading 3-1 in the 4th. He also went on next year to beat the same Djokovic in the US Open Final but couldn't win Wimbledon. This is the version of Wawrinka we all wanted to witness forever so that we could witness some other competitive players besides the Big 3 in tennis..

His one-hander down the line in this match was god level. He was firing lasers on the backhand. I honestly think his was better than Djokovic's (best backhand in tennis history imo) on this day. This match was so enjoyable. I've re-watched it dozens of times

Awesome match! Love an upset of this quality ... well done Stan the Man!

The music before a big point, the subtitles - all spoil the watch by telling us what's about to happen before it does. We have eyes and brains, let us enjoy what you've graciously uploaded here

Remember watching this match! Djokovic didn’t try to miss things up & started S & V at the very end. No slices, no short inside out approach. Wawrinka was pumping down the lines from both the wings!

what a privilige to watch a match like that...Stan in God Mode and Djokovic at his best! Just incredible!

These videos are a really great length. More than a highlight real, but less than the full match.

I don't understand why Stan has done so poorly at Wimbledon. He has great touch round the net, serves like a beast, has great blocked returns etc

This game is where " Stan the man" comes from.

Glorious days in tennis history!

Thanks for telling me what's about to happen next. It really makes it more exciting.

After the long standing touching ovation for Djokovic, even iron Novak was on the brink of shedding a tear, he realized he would rid the mind of doubt, he'd work even harder to grab this elusive title. And next year he did it. Bravo Nole!

Back from RG 2020 Final. Love his eye tears!!

Stan needs ONE wimbledon to have a calendar slam. Not many players could say that. He did realize his potential, one of the few to do. He had as many slams as Murray, 3 times as Del Potro. Wow

Wawrinka played solid tennis from 2013-2016. Picked up 3 Grand Slam titles. That is really impressive when you think that he took those titles in presence of big 3. Technically, Nadal and Federer were dealing with injuries and possibly Nadal's worst years of his tennis career (especially 2015, 2016). Even though Juan Martín del Potro, Marin Čilić and now Dominic Thiem won single grand slam but only Stanislas Wawrinka and Andy Murray have the honors of capturing multiple Grad Slam in the dominating era of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. History will always appreciate the amazing achievements by these fierce competitors. There is still a slim chance if he can win one Wimbledon title, complete his Career Grand Slam and go in history books alongside five other men.

For me, this is the highest level performance ever achieved by human being.Novak would never have beaten Stan in this match, neither would anyone else in the history of tennis. He basically replicated and improved Soderlings performance years earlier, both of whowere abnormally physically strong men, with unreplicable power in groundstrokes. when stan is on, it is the highest level, he has achieved this on a couple of other occasions also.He's just not consistent

blessed to see one of the greatest if not the greatest single backhands there has ever been

This match always cheers me up when I'm sad, so I keep returning to this video. Inspiring how Djokovic was staging one of his classic comebacks and pried the door open in the fourth, while Wawrinka summoned the Stanimal to firmly shut it and clinch the title.

That ovation for Novak at the end... It's ot often that you see him on the brink of tears, that's how much it meant to him. What a beautiful moment. 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Stan gave us one of the most unforgettable grand slam finals performances ever. Absolutely incredible tennis against an in form Djokovic. Waaaauw.

What a classy crowd. I'll never forget this.

It's crazy how he was deep into his prime having won multiple majors and had 2 career seasons (2011 & 2015) and the French Open STILL eluded him. Now he has 3 Frech Open titles. Patience truly is a virtue

My word, stan wawrinka's grandslam list has him defeat the then number 1 seed player everytime and he is yet to reach semifinal in wimbledon. What a player.

Watching this hurts so much less as a Djokovic fan now that he’s won Roland Garros 3 times. At the time, nobody knew if he’d blown his one chance to win RG, similar to Federer in 2009 when Nadal was out of the picture.

Such a good times

One of my favourite matches ever

These two always play awesome matches

this has really been his masterpiece

Life indeed has come back a full circle for Novak since 2015 to 2021 - both years he defeated Nadal in Semis but ended winning only in 2021 in his defeat 2015 he said about character and respect for his opponents - this shows his greatness he is the epitome of being 'humble in victory gracious in defeat'

This is my favourite tennis match!

After this final, I thought novak would never win French open in his life. But o boy I was wrong, he has won 3 as of now. Simply the GOAT and epitome of never die attitude. # Let's go nole.❤💪

What performance by both of them tremendous Respect 👏

Classy match and classy players. Novak Djokovic: Man of Steel at that point in his career. Stan was great on that day, great, and he earned the win. I as a Djokovic fan am happy to leave it at that.

@16:18 16:57 21:43 24:11 30:15 30:57 34:18

Still love this match awesome play from both and would love to see Stan at his prime again
