Stanislas Wawrinka (1985-), Two-Time Grand Slam Tennis Champion from Switzerland, and the 2015 French Open Winner

[DonRocks]

As I'm typing this (and this), Stanislas Wawrinka has just defeated the great Novak Djokovic for the 2015 French Open Men's Singles Championship.

Given that Wawrinka dispatched Federer in the quarter-finals, and beat Djokovic at the peak of his game, and also won the 2014 Australian Open Men's Singles Title, you really have to include him in any discussion of "Who's the best men's tennis player right now?" I think Wawrinka has broken through to the top 4, displacing Andy Murray, and may even be better than that.

In no way is Djokovic finished, although Nadal's may be a career in decline from this point forward. Given that I think Nadal, and perhaps even Djokovic, have careers that are in question, it is fitting that it appears as though Federer may well rise above this giant, multi-year tangle of thorns to be ultimately considered the Greatest Of All-Time.
