We are used to seeing a Swiss in the winner’s circle but not this one, and rarely after the incredible drama that saw Stanislas Wawrinka elevated to the status of Grand Slam champion.
Wawrinka followed his great friend Roger Federer into that exclusive club by claiming an extraordinary Australian Open final against a stricken Rafael Nadal 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-3 in two hours and 21 minutes.
The Swiss had to overcome a complete scrambling of his mind before seeing off Nadal, who required extensive treatment on a lower back injury before recovering somewhat and making life extremely difficult in the fourth set.
