Stan Wawrinka is perhaps playing the last Roland Garros of his career. 9 years ago, the Vaudois was familiar with the stars. We offer you a look back in pictures on this incredible epic…
After a very difficult start to the season, Stan Wawrinka recovered and gained momentum at the best time. He passed the first rounds without incident: Marsel Ilhan, Dušan Lajović and Steve Johnson paid the price.
In the round of 16, the Vaudois crushed Gilles Simon (6-1 6-4 6-2). He displays impressive confidence and offers himself a 100% Swiss duel. Against Roger Federer, he delivered one of the best matches of his career. He won 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7/4) and beat his compatriot for the first time in a Grand Slam.

In the last four, he faced Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in an epic match. After a four-set battle (6-3 6-7 (1/7) 7-6 (7/3) 6-4), he qualified for his first final at Roland Garros.
On June 7, 2015, Stan Wawrinka challenged Novak Djokovic in the final. After losing the first set, he turned the situation around with winning shots and remarkable precision. His steely mentality allowed him to win the next three sets (4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4).
This victory, obtained thanks to a monumental performance, allows Wawrinka to be crowned for the first time at Porte d’Auteuil. He would win the US Open again the following year to win his third and final Grand Slam title.
