Origin
and identity

Stan Wawrinka made full-blooded shot-making and a remarkable one-handed backhand the centre of a career defined by victories on tennis's largest stages.

The Lausanne-born Swiss could force the pace against outstanding defenders. His baseline power became especially compelling when he planted his feet and committed fully to a shot.

From 2014–2016, he won major finals against reigning No. 1 players on three surfaces. Olympic doubles gold and Switzerland's Davis Cup triumph added a substantial team dimension.
