Wawrinka real winners 57-26 forehand side - still not enough to overcome the defense as fast as Djokovic.
To play in the Grand Slam in his first finals , Wawrinka is as flawless as possible on the first set he broke Djokovic twice in the first 18 minutes, and when he finished the break. The second to the winner . Hot forehand crosscourt - one of seven in the series - Djokovic just glanced across with the land owners. Somewhere between stunned and surprised.
Wawrinka is possible every day and by the time the fifth set rolled around, the scene near his chair to demonstrate it, it looks like a living room littered with towels, shirts, tracksuits , and a variety of The mangled remains of the wood he smashed his stick in the fourth set , he drew a penalty .
It was the kind of day that each player is awarded 165 points and the third game is a sort of game .

" Even though I lost the game , I felt like , ' OK, he has a little bit more tired and may be an opportunity for me to step in. '" Djokovic said.
The question now is whether Djokovic can recover for his last moments he had to have at least one thing in favor of this year's U.S. Open , he broke with the tradition of playing the finals . And the last day of the back to back , which will help. Djokovic special day . Of the rest .
