Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinka stunned world number one Novak Djokovic with stimulating display to win his first US Open and third Grand Slam title.

Wawrinka 31, seeded third, won 6-7 (1-7) 6-4 7-5 6-3 to add the US title to his 2014 Australia Open Title and his French Open wins last year. He hit 46 winners, compared 30 form Novak Djokovic, displaying invigorating shot-making, as his winners ripped through challenges with his backhand finding successful responses where others failed.

Although Serba’s Djokovic made a strong start, he could not sustain it , as he struggled and stumbled physically, as the final entered a fourth hour in New York.

US Open champion Stan Wawrinka  said, “ I don’t know what’s happening right now. I played almost four hours. First I must say about Novak. You’re a great champion, a great person, because of you I’m where I am today. I’d like to congratulate you on everything you have done. This is amazing. I came here without the goal of winning it but stepped on the court trying to win the match. I played lot of tennis. My goal is to give everything I have to be the best I can. I never had a goal to win a Grand Slam but I am trying as best I can. Match after match I was playing better. One last thing, today has been a big battle on the court but there is a bigger thing so I just want to remember what happened 15 years ago.”
