"I'm lucky I have many big memories": Wawrinka ranks French Open triumph over Djokovic as best memory of his career

Stan Wawrinka is the most famous late bloomer in tennis as the Swiss player got most of his achievements in the second part of his career becoming a grand slam champion at age 29.

His dominant run lasted for a few more years before injuries took its toll but he became a 3x grand slam champion during the era of the big three which is incredible. He didn't rack up as many trophies as Murray overall but he's certainly one of the more successful players in the big three era. There are plenty of memories from those times but his most favourite one is the French Open triumph over Novak Djokovic:

"It’s tough to say, but I would probably pick the French Open final against Novak Djokovic. It’s tough to pick one because I’ve had so many. I’m lucky I have many big memories, but the French Open has always been special. In France, winning the title after winning in juniors is something really special."

He added:

"Of course it’s always special. That’s one of the main reasons why I keep playing tennis. I enjoy what I’m doing. I’m passionate about it. The emotion that I get from the fans, from the people in each tournament, from the support that I can get in matches, is always going to be special. I want to enjoy that as much as I can because the day that I will stop there will be no return."
