Stanislas Wawrinka
Stanislas Wawrinka won his first grand slam tennis title today when he beat an ailing Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open.
Wawrinka defeated Nadal 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to join his good friend Roger Federer as a Swiss grand slam champion.
Wawrinka had never taken a set off the world No. 1 in 12 previous matches, but when an emotional Nadal took a medical timeout for a back injury in the second set, the odds swung in his favor. Ref. CNN
