Wawrinka on the Big 4: "Nadal at Roland Garros is the most unpleasant to play".
Stan Wawrinka was a guest on the "Nothing Major" podcast. He answered questions from Sam Querrey, Steve Johnson, John Isner and Jack Sock.
Asked which member of the Big 4 he had the most trouble against, the Swiss replied: "They were all solid opponents, but Nadal at Roland-Garros is the most unpleasant to play.
I played against him in the final in 2017, just watching the clock, hoping to get past the one-hour mark before losing.
He puts pressure on you at every rally. He leaves you no opportunity to hit a winning shot."
