“He took away two Grand Slams from me,” says Novak Djokovic of three-time champion Stan Wawrinka. Wimbledon
Novak Djokovic will play Stan Wawrinka for the 27th time in a storied rivalry when they clash on Friday, July 7, but surprisingly they have never played each other on grass, let alone at Wimbledon.
Wawrinka reached the peak of his career between 2014-2016, a period when he seemed like the only man capable of breaking the hegemony of the ‘Big Four’ – Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Andy Murray, and Djokovic. “After several knee surgeries, he keeps going strong and trying to create some more history for himself and tennis,” Djokovic said.
“It was a part of my career that I was playing such a good level that I knew when I was entering on court against Novak in a Grand Slam I was able to beat him,” Wawrinka said.
