+Justin Webster I Agree. I mean Djokovic had incredible hard games (US open half final vs roger, and final vs nadal same tournament) and both finals vs murray at AO. But in Terms of Intensity i think this 1 and the loss to wawrinka 1 year later were his toughest matches. Hard to call. But fun to see djoker getting such a beating for almost 2 sets, and still fighting his way back.

The match that began Stan's legacy. To turn heartbreak into success, marks the sign of a true champion. What a player.

I remember watching this live on TV. Absolutely epic. Djokovic's defence work is mind boggling.

one of the best matches I have ever seen --- mind-boggling defense, attack, tense moments, bravery --- everything that tennis stands for -- was at its peak.

The "best" loss that ever happened to Wawrinka. This is basically where his career as a permanent top player began. Despite the ups and downs he still has, he's been overall been going up since this match. The amount of belief he got from this match was scary to say the least.

Goosebumps right now, this is heaven tennis. One of the best everrr!!!

This may have honestly been the best tennis match of all time and not a lot of people know about it because it was a 4R match. Definitely the match that turned Wawrinkas career around. The following year Wawrinka beat djokovic in the semis and then Nadal to win this title.

Not taking anything away from Wawrinka but Djokovic movement and balance is something else

Stan played the game of his life. His one handed backhand is what kept him to the 5th set, and hopefully will pave the way for future players to consider using this beautiful stroke. Down the line, inside out, and cross court backhands were flawless. Fantastic game.

The beginning of Wawrinka 2.0 - I remember cheering Stan on so hard, esp when he won that 4th set.. Although he lost, I became a fan of him at the end of this match.

Its because djokovic doesn't win the backhand exchanges with stan, unlike most other people. This puts djokovic into a more defensive state where Wawrinka can start ripping balls.

One of THE best matches I think ever. Great shot making from both but what a master finishing shot from Djokovic (and he has had a few of those). Brilliant stuff.

And can't stand all the haters who think ripping off your shirt is disrespectful. It's done, or something very similar, in almost every sport. Hockey has gloves sticks etc thrown into the air. Football has dances and "in your face" moments after a touchdown. Soccer has shirts ripped off. Get over it. NASCAR has burnouts. Djokovic was the better player this match. Get over it. Pure adrenaline after a grueling and epic battle.

I did raise an eyebrow when he ripped his shirt.. so here is my two cents. Djokovic went to him pretty quickly at the end of the match to exchange gg and even gave him an opening for a kiss (you know I'm joking). He showed lots of respect to Wawrinka, but it's hard to discotiate a "solitary" extreme celebration from such a match, especially in tennis. Soccer is way different since it's a team vs. a team. Here it's mano a mano. It's pretty clear that the court belongs to the winner after the game for celebrations, but in my book, ripping your shirt like an animal isn't really the image of a good winner, it's over kill, especially in a gentlemen's duel. I don't think he meant offense, but still. Removing his shirt normally and going super saiyan III then would have been way better and classier.

Now I want to watch the full match. Currently, this is the most amazing match I've ever seen. Just unbelievable.

Stan played one of the matches of his lives and lost. It must've been heartbreaking. What an incredible match by Djokovic as well. Tennis at its best. Glad to see they are such good friends

Wawrinka backhand is a different thing

That single handed backhand of Stan is better than Roger I would say. It's a pity that he flourished very late in his career otherwise he could have easily won many more slams. But take a bow Novak Djokovic, that's what champion's are made of.

Come back to this every now and then. Tennis here is beyond extraordinary by both. Stan is probably the only player who really took Djokovic beyond his limits. The ball striking here and at the french 15 final is probably the best I've ever seen in my life. Really wish Stan had that level and consistency and was injury-free so we could have those sort of matches again in slams. That Wawrinka backhand is something beyond extraordinary. It looks good to the eye and man he just unleashes it like a canon. The only single handed backhand which went toe-to-toe against the invincible djokovic backhand and got the better of it. 13:46 that last backhand to set up the forehand down the line is one of the most mesmerizing backhand shot I've ever seen. He took the ball so early and timed it with absolute perfection. I have replayed this point thousands of time for almost 10 years now still find it amazing how beautiful that backhand crosscourt is. Djokovic's resilience is so difficult to break. It takes like an absolute beast performance to get past his defence. One of the reasons why Stan-Djoko matches used to be classics. Perfect matchup of offense vs defense.

only a couple hours away from another epic tennis match !!

Oh, hellyeah.

First 5min I was like "where are Djokovics points here" and soon after that the beast has awaken.

I still well up at the end. Felt for Stan. I watched it live at the time from my home and it was mesmerising. Definitely up there with my favourite three or four matches of all time. You’ve gotta hand it to Novak how he manages to win under so much pressure it’s just mad. At that time it was the best single backhand on the planet versus the best double backhand on the planet maybe ever and it was unbelievable. It was one of those losses as a fan you never quite get over (like Roddick vs Federer 2009 Wimbledon and Djokovic vs Federer 2019 Wimbledon and a couple of others I could mention). Those few years 2011-15 is some of the best tennis I’ve witnessed from Djokovic - he was just incredible. Never ever gave up.
