What a man, that backhand is a killer.

Hasn't lost a set so far and has played some good players like Roddick and Monfils.

My guess is Wawrinka will beat Federer in the quarters and be the surprise packet of 2011 Aus Open.
 
Is it just me or does he look out of shape? I could've sworn he was a lot sliimmer couple years ago, was playing better tennis then i reckon but good to see he's still doing good.
 
The guy's been around for a long time, why are people acting like this is the first tournament he's played in?

I don't know about others but I only watch slams and he's starting to hit some good form in the slams(QF in Us Open and now QF in Oz)

He does have a beautiful backhand. He's my age and I suspect like me, he grew up trying to emulate the way Stefan Edberg and Tommy Haas played it. Both of them are up there with Budge as a couple of the greatest proponents of the stroke ever.

Honestly think the single-handed classical backhand is one of the best-looking shots in the game.

You're ****ing right, the two hander looks too much like a baseball shot.

Everyone's going one-handed now with these new racquets, they're too light not to take full advantage of the leverage on offer.

You dig?
 
Yeah my immediate thought upon seeing this thread was simply LOL.

Why? Not everyone watches every ATP tournament. So he's giving Stan some credit on his performance, so what? This is one of Stan's better efforts at a slam, not to mention he's had a great start to the year. A thread acknowledging it is laughable? Righto.

Haha.

I only gave him a chance because he was in good form and Fed was playing ordinary but Fed turned it on.
