That 2015 final against Djokovic at Roland Garros is his absolute greatest performance. He crushed the ball on both wings

[@wasilroohan_]

I personally think that the 2014 Australian Open QF against Djokovic the year before was Stan's best performance. Partly because hard courts are Djokovic's favorite surface and at the time, he already had a solid record at the AO. Along with that, Stan came in clutch when he needed to in order to beat Djokovic at his own game. However, I do agree that the 2015 French Open final was still undoubtedly one of his greatest.

His game simply matched up very well against Novak..Their lopsided overall h2h has more to do with Wawrinka taking too long to get his act together..Against Nadal,the lefty forehand to backhand was always going to be an uphill battle and Federer didn't give Wawrinka any time to unload (outside a couple of clay encounters)
