Backhand Power in Paris

In the 2015 French Open final, Stan Wawrinka faced world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who was chasing a career Grand Slam. Wawrinka lost the first set but fought back to win in four, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, with a stream of one-handed backhand winners.

Fans remembered his checkered shorts almost as much as his shot-making. Nicknamed Stanimal for his power, the Swiss player was coached by Sweden's Magnus Norman and carries a tattoo of Samuel Beckett's words about failing better.

Wawrinka won three majors in all: the 2014 Australian Open, the 2015 French Open and the 2016 US Open, beating Djokovic in two of those finals. In an era ruled by the Big Three, his big-match power stood out.
