Damn, if Nole was playing deeper behind the baseline he’d have to buy a ticket.

That Backhand. One of the most beautiful weapons ever seen in tennis.

One of the only players to truly break down Novak's defense with pure offense. At times he looked defeated, I don't think I've ever seen Novak look defeated.

Rewatching this several years later, Djokovic actually didn't play poorly at all...Stan was just on fire. What a night!

The stars and planets have to be aligned just right for it to happen, but when they are, for a few hours a year, Stan is unbeatable.

Stan is a loose canon. You don't want him to wake up and start shooting straight

stan later revealed that he was crying from stress just 5 minutes before this match. but he kept his composure. what a man #stantheman

When at his best, Stan is the best player to watch... magnificent shots made with easy power....

Wawrinka and Thiem nailing the one handed backhand down the line is sweet.

Stan lacks Djoker’s return, Nadal’s speed, and Fed’s genius playmaking, BUT on a good day the awesome firepower on his serve, forehand, and that beautiful backhand that can blow anyone right off the court!

We all know what it means when he points to the head... it’s trouble for Novak

i dont think anyone can beat this man when he goes god mode lmao

When Wawrinka wins a Grand Slam, he reacts likes winning a training match, what a cold blood has Stanimal!!!!!

STAN THE MAN!!!

Stan has such incredible power. The power, accuracy and his movement were just incredible in this match. 10/10

Stan at his best. Unfortunately we don't get to see it all the time, but he has all the skills and techniques. Great player.

The French Open final where he thumped those monster backhands was perhaps the greatest display of power tennis in the history of the game. Astonishing.

Ruthless precision, power and consistency from Stan! Nobody would have stood a chance that day.

I guess that 2:00 a.m at lockdown its the perfect moment to watch a Wawrinka video

That´s why I still believe that if all players performed at their best, Stan would turn out to be the best. As an american TV commentary put it many years ago: All the guys back in the locker room know what Stan is capable of - the question is if he himself knows it, too.

stan god mode is like an anime character gaining some power up for a brief moment to defeat the bad guy.. when he's in god mode he can defeat absolutely anybody, but they come rare,few times a year or in years... but it emerges at the most important times and against the best of players tennis world has ever seen, giving him 3 grand slam titles

nobody can beat stan on his best day

Stan's aussie open 2014 (and 2013 as well even though he lost) & Rolland garros 2015 performances were absolutely Monumental...never seen somebody hitting with such Raw Power & precision... and at this point he always knew that he's going to win... Even djokovic knew that when stan pointing a finger at his head, he's f#$ked...there is nothing he can do about it.. #Miss stanimal

Watching him play is incredibly entertaining... beautiful

An absolutely punishing performance from Stan, made all the more amazing by the fact that he was so nervous before the match he cried to his coach.

It's amazing how he is capable of producing that amount of pace in every shot

Wawrinka is my favorite player, especially the backhand and the colors he wears.

Stan is physically dominating and the speed and power of his backhand is really something to behold. Too bad he was not as consistent as the big 3 and also had some injuries. We at least had the honor of witnessing his peak.

Prime Wawrinka is a scary man and this is coming from a die hard Djokovoc fan. Wawrinka's crazy fast backhand and forehand shots do the trick against Novak.

that backhand is crazy. I am so happy for him he won this

One of the things that isn't talked about enough is Stan's footwork. He's not necessarily the fastest player around the court, but his footwork when getting into position is really exemplary. Very light on his feet.

One of my favorite finals, it was like a boxing match. I would love to see Stan win Wimbledon to get the fourth.

Wawrinka's backhand is just woww.....his one handed backhand is a tread mark for tennis history

100% the best player to watch in tennis when GOD mode is on. I never would've thought Novak was such an incredible mover in 2016, just shows good Stan was here.

"God gave me a gift. I am the most complete tennis player in the world" Stan "Boyka" Wawrinka

Stan owns Djokovic . When they play, one can easily see Djokovic's mind is preoccupied in anticipation of the missiles about to launch from not only Stans Backhand but also the forehand!

This was a really great highlight. Even though he lost this one, these are the type of matches Djokovic lives for.

Stan and Henin’s backhands were my two favourite shots - they had more power and ability to punch through the court than any of the two handers and they also had more variety to play with

djokovic in 2019 us open draw : not this again

I don’t think that many people are agreeing with me. But i honestly think that his peak/prime was one of best tennis has ever seen, maybe the best ever. It was pure gold

Video Title: When Stan goes God Mode, Video Start: Djokovic (eyes closed) despairing... That's enough to set the tone of a Wawrinka video.

No one can deal with that backhand.

How about this video? A piece of art

best final performance ever i think. so consistent and idk what the winner count was but probably around triple digits

I remember watching him years ago in a far court at Cincy, not many people there, did not know that much about him but thought wow, this guy's got game, so much power and really smooth, wonder why he hasn't done better on the tour lol. I'm trying to think of a better OHBH ever. Dude's so strong.

I wanna see "The Super Stan" coming back again this year!!!

When Djokovic laughs in a match against Wawrinka, you know what´s going on.

stan doesnt go full stanimal mode all that often but when he does it's a beautiful site to behold

As a Nole fan, this guy is one that give most damage to him. Stanimal!

He was probably the ONLY player to present any type of threat to Djokovic (who was probably playing his best tennis at the time), his backhand was just WAY too powerful for players to handle back then and it was majestic to watch.

Roger's backhand is the most beautiful shot of tennis history in terms of body motions, but Stan's is the most lethal one.

Un immense champion ne l'oublions pas j'adore sont tennis 🎾 un combattant dû grand Wawrinka j'espère qu'il va revenir bientôt à son niveau comme grigor Dimitrov Un super joueur Un régal à voir jouer Djokovic reste le numéro 1 ET beaucoup de respect Pour lui aussi Ils sont géniaux Un don unique pour leur sport bravo Champions vous nous rendez heureux quand ont vous regarde joué

I love that line in the context of facing djokovic. "Daring you to rise...or drown in the waves of a more powerful will". Snaps for the us open XD

Even in God mode Djokovic is giving Stan a run for his money. Both are superb players. Fantastic match from Stan to keep the pressure up on Djokovic the whole time.

You could see the change in the balance of the match when Stan started pushing Djokovic further and further behind the baseline. There aren't many players who can do that.

Great highlights, great editing to bring us a very enjoyable post. Thank you!!!

two tennis greats vaporizing the ball. Jaw dropping stuff! unbelievable!

That backhand is pure magic, so powerful and so graceful at the same time, a devastating beauty. It's a poetry in motion

Stan's backhand...🌟

Epic video and editing, BTF game! Had the great pleasure seeing him in person at AO 2020 this year.

Unbelievable tennis! Djokovic was playing well and Warinka was just pounding the ball and hitting his shots the entire Match! Thought it wasn’t going to work out for him during the first two sets but he did it

Stan is one of favourite tennis player. Great one hand backhand is amazing . . .

One of the few player to have God Mode. Truly amazing to watch when he played like that

I love both players. What a match!! Go, Stan!!

When stan turns God mode on, djoker will try to turn his injury mode on

Damn. Stan is played like a wounded lion. His backhand is incredibe

unbelievable... Roger Federer is great aggressive player, but for me it feels he is very creative on how to put pressure on the opponent without risking too much. Stan is just all out aggression, take no prisoners, hitting lines, brute forcing the opponent to retreat. It doesn't make sense that it's possible to play like that, it's beyond real. Roger is what I imagine topping what is humanly possible with creativity and aggression, Stan doesn't seem to be human here. But he is, that's probably why he couldn't do that on 20 occasions like Roger, but 3. Still, when in zone, he's the best ever.

Stan showed incredible mental strength to recover from losing a grueling first set. In fact, he got stronger and more dangerous after losing the first set.

When Wawrinka gets it going and starts feeling it, he is a handful.

He came in 2014 like : "Imma win 3 GS in 3 years, and then I'm done there guys"

One of the few guys on tour who’s comfortable going backhand to backhand with Nole.

no words.....still remember that match!!!

Le titre de la vidéo est excellent. Il reflète bien la quête et la carrière de ce gentleman, faite de choix et d'action sous la pression de l'adversaire et du public. Un maître de l'art et de la conquête des foules. Un danseur, un cosaque. Il n'est jamais à l'origine des incidents de match... Et il en sort toujours vainqueur. L'incontestable caïd du circuit.

Stan in God mode is a nightmare for any opponent and delight for a tennis fan 👏👏

The only man to have hit through Djoker's signature defense...MULTIPLE TIMES. Absolute king, I'll forever stan the stanimal. Dude is the only reason I persisted with tennis in my early 20s despite all the adversity associated with starting the sport so late in life. Now I've got a huge serve, massive forehand, and reliable one hander.

one of the all time great backhands.

I always get the feeling that Stan's ground strokes particularly backhand, are closer to the Ivan Lendl style than say, any other 1HBH players like Fed, Sampras, Becker, Edberg etc.

Peak Stan is better than any other player out there in my opinion

🥰👍 both r amazing MAGICS 😘🥰👍💪

Highest peak of tennis is god mode Wawrinka

@The BTFGAME I like how you slowly faded out the commentary audio from the previous clips so that the cuts are softer. Nice editing man.

Stan the man, one of my all time favourite players to watch. Him and Nalbandian at their prime playing each other would be insane 🔥

Epic! Getting tired just by watching this but never get tired of watching it!

You know you have it when you hit as hard as you can and the ball stay in all the time. Stan hit the ball so clean.

Stan was in the zone ... well deserved title ... besides I loves his tennis ...

Stan and Nole backhands are pure magic on it own ways

Very few, if any at all, makes baseline slogging look as beautiful to watch as Stan does. There are players you are afraid to rank within all players. You just don't know exactly where to rank them based on their ability. Based on trophies, records and rankings it is easy. But Stan just shatters all of that by pointing his finger at what looks like 'see how tennis can mix muscle, timing, precision & grace'. No one, I at least saw NONE, make this mix taste as delicious as Stan did. These are players that provide you with the visual feast of hard-hitting tennis you can savour for ages.

On top form Stan was invincible as he showed in this match. Incredible to watch.

The version of backhand on display is the greatest in the history of the game

The backhand is just a thing of beauty when it's really firing like it was here.

Getting back into tennis after a long while away from the game im so hype

I have never seen hitting as incredible as in this game. Wow.

Stan is indeed The Man

Stan deserved this so much.

Best tennis from both players 👌👌👌

Insane power-hitting. All guns blazing.

I dont care how good you are, wether you beat Stan or not is completely up to him and his form.

Amazing.Part 2 ... 😂😂😂

Collection of aces + powerful backhand..too strong.

Its insane how many winners Stan has to hit to win a point. And he keeps focus and finishes the point not giving Djokovic free points.
