In an interview with the ATP press service, Novak Djokovic was asked about the most underrated player he has faced during his career.

The Serbian replied: "Stan Wawrinka, I think he is very underestimated and underrated given that he is a three-time Grand Slam winner. I think people very often forget him and his achievements.

He has accomplished more than 90% of the players in the history of this sport, so I would probably choose him."

The two players have faced each other 27 times, with a positive record for Djokovic of 21-6.

Djokovic Novak

4e, 4830 points

Wawrinka Stan

157e, 397 points

For that brief period when Wawrinka was winning those three majors, he was the best tennis player in the world. He played at a higher level than any of the Big 3. It was awesome to watch. It was unfortunate that Wawrinka could never play like that again. I had hoped he would at least win one more, Wimbledon, to achieve winning all four majors, but it wasn't to be. He couldn't summon up that unbeatable tennis that he could play for such a short period in his long career.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
