I think Wawrinka's got as good a chance as anyone outside the usual suspects. He's got the game for it - good first and second serve, useful forehand, one of the best backhands (single or two handed) around.
His biggest obstacle seemed to be mental but I think he's got round that. Until Nadal took his medical time out, Wawrinka was blasting him off the court in a manner that even a fully fit Nadal would struggle with.
True, Wawrinka's best might not be enough to consistently beat the very best from Nadal/Djokovic/Murray, but I think he's worth an outside bet. I wouldn't be surprised if Wawrinka gets another slam, especially if the big three start to decline and we have a 'transition' period to the next era.
Hoping he does pick up another slam to avoid the one slam wonder label. It would be good for the game to see a bit more variety in slam winners. |
