Rod Lover support Wawrinka!
French Rod Laver mentioned on Sunday after the press conference, the greatest player of all time, tuned in to witness Stan Wawrinka break apart Novak Djokovic’s game at Roland Garros Sunday and capture his second major crown.
“It was a pretty unbelievable match,” Laver told ATPWorldTour.com. “It was seesaw throughout, with huge backhands and forehands. “I think grass should be right up Wawrinka’s alley. His serve is perfect and he volleys well, so I expect him to do well at Wimbledon.” Laver, during the 1962 and 1969 Grand Slam champion.
Wawrinka triumphed 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to add to his 2014 Australian Open title. He hit 62 aces overall in his seven matches, and ranked in the Top 2 for first and second service points won. Even Djokovic recent dominance – 49-3 match record since the birth of his son, Stefan, on 21 October 2014 – the record books show that he has lost six of his past nine major championship finals.
