Win-Loss Record: 132-50.

Grand Slam Titles: 3.

Stan Wawrinka made his Grand Slam debut at the 2005 French Open. Wawrinka reached the 3rd round, losing to finalist Mariano Puerta in 4 sets. It marked the beginning of a wonderful streak for Wawrinka, who did not miss a Grand Slam for the next 12 years, but all good things come to an end. Wawrinka struggled with injuries in the latter part of 2017, and was forced to miss the 2017 US Open, where he was the defending champion.

Wawrinka always had the talent to be a world beater, but he rarely lived up to the hype. In his first 31 Grand Slam tournaments, Wawrinka made it to the quarter-final stage only twice. Wawrinka pushed Novak Djokovic to 5 sets at the 2013 Australian Open, and it was the beginning of change for him. Stan would go on to win 3 Grand Slams in the next 3 years (2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open, 2016 US Open). He defeated at least one member of the Big Four in all his Slam victories. Wawrinka also reached the Quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2014 and 2015, and is only a Wimbledon title away from completing the career Grand Slam.

Wawrinka achieved his career high ranking of 3 in January 2014, and has finished in the Top 10 for 5 straight years (2013-2017). Wawrinka, alongside Federer, won the Gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the Davis Cup in 2014. He is yet to return to full fitness since his injury, and whenever he does, there should be little doubt that he would add to his Slam tally.
