French Open final preview: Novak Djokovic vs. Stan Wawrinka - Tennis - SI.com
"Well my dream was to play Roland Garros, not to win it, not to reach the finals," Wawrinka said. "To me, the players that did that were mutants. The fact that I have reached the finals now here is something exceptional after winning a Grand Slam in Australia a year ago now. And to think that this is yet another final in yet another Grand Slam, it's something amazing."

But history did not just come to him; he made it himself, with a lot of hard work and, under Norman, growing self-belief. A year ago, he was beaten in the first round of the French and they had a late-night hamburger in a Paris McDonald’s without interruption. Those days and nights are gone. “Everyone told me when I started working with Stan that he was a little bit soft and he was not the man for the big occasion,” Norman said.
“In the two years we have been together, he has been rock solid in all the big matches so I am not surprised that [he beat Djokovic].”
