Happy for Stan. His BH is probably the best in the game.

The only 3 winners in the past 10 years at RG have been Fed, Nadal, and Wawrinka.
2 Swiss guys.

Hard to say if Stan has the best BH in the game cuz single-handed and double-handed have pros & cons on different shots... but in terms of single-BH overall... best on tour.

Wow. Tearing up for my boy. Been following him for years and telling every and anyone I knew that Stan had the tools. Yet again I didn't bet him @ 60/1 this major

Of course, Djoko is sad. This is the one that eluded him for years (like Fed).
He got this next year if he continues the momentum.

Stan was lights out today. Just not enough from Nole but he had a great tournament.

Stan usually says "allez", I think. He certainly did so today.

Gasquet has something to say on the one-handed backhand. That said, F Gasgay

It's hard to believe that Nole is just 3-8 in GS finals outside of the Australian Open.

Richie has a great BH, but it's nowhere near as good as Stan's. His is more loopy and has more spin, while Stan can generate the spin as well as flatten it out with more power and pace.

Stan's backhand is great when it's on but I think Nole's backhand is more consistent and versatile.

Just goes to show how hard it truly is to win major tournaments in tennis.
Even the greatest players in the world can be worn out by the time they reach the final.
All it takes is being off your game for one day, one hour, or even a few points, and you're beaten.
which just goes to show how amazing Serena truly is for consistently winning :x
