FIRST STEPS|By Kristian House

New York Stan Wawrinka looks more like a lumberjack than a tennis player. Thick shoulders, burly chest, scruffy beard and mustache. He is strong but unpredictable. He likes to point to his head during matches, because he knows that if he keeps his mind clear and his one-handed backhand flowing, he can beat anyone. Wawrinka’s latest triumph, a four- set victory over Novak Djokovic on Sunday for the U.S. Open title, was proof. Although men’s tennis has long been ruled by the sport’s “Big Four”—Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal—it’s time to start reassessing that exclu- sive club’s membership. Wawrinka now has three major titles, matching Murray. Wawrinka re- mains ranked No. 3 in the world, still behind Djokovic and Murray but ahead of No. 4 Nadal and Federer, who has slipped to seventh amid in- jury. Nadal, 30, hasn’t won a major the past two years, and Federer, 35, hasn’t since 2012. But the new U.S. Open champion, at 31, is going strong. Wawrinka is a late bloomer. He didn’t win his first major title until the 2014 Australian Open, when he was 28. Djokovic, 29, is a steady champion, always in finals, always eating the right foods and drinking the right drinks. Wawrinka is as unpredictable and messy as an after- midnight subway in Manhattan. He tosses rackets, towels, finger tape, wristbands and sweaty shirts all around his on-court chair, like a col- lege kid in his dorm room. Wawrinka almost lost in the third round here, when he faced a match point against Britain’s Daniel Evans. The beauty of Wawrinka doesn’t come early in tournaments. He needs time to settle in, to believe in his strokes, to gather speed. Once he makes it to the end, he’s a different man—Wawrinka has won his last 11 tournament finals. The longer and later the match, the better he plays.

SPORTS

In his career, Wawrinka is 0- against No. 1-ranked players in best- of-three-set matches, and 0-4 at Grand Slams before the final. But in major finals, he is now 3-0 against top-seeded opponents, with a victory against Nadal and two against Djok- ovic. His 2015 French Open final victory against Djokovic, in four sets, was one of the best matches played by anyone in this historic era of the Big Four. “He plays best in the big matches,” Djokovic said. “He was more courageous.” On Sunday, Wawrinka dropped the first set to Djokovic. He did the same against Djokovic in the 2014 Australian Open quarterfinals and in the 2015 French Open final, then came back to win each time. Wawrinka’s coach, Magnus Norman, has learned that there’s no need to worry. “I know that he’s always going to come back,” Norman said. “He has more than one life in five sets.” After his slow start, Wawrinka punished Djokovic with strong serves, deep forehands and the one- handed backhand that Pete Sampras,

winner of 14 major titles, once said made him jealous. Most pros with a one-handed backhand are vulnerable to high-bouncing topspin. Wawrinka throttles those balls. His down-the-line blasts practi- cally leave trails of smoke. “No one else can get that kind of pace on the one-hander,” said James Blake, the former pro. “It’s a lot of upper body strength.” “Novak, he’s a beast mentally,” Wawrinka said. “It’s always the big- gest challenge to play against him.” Wawrinka’s backhand started to click in the second set. As he hit harder and deeper, Djokovic slid along the baseline like a man on a Slip N Slide to keep the ball in play. By the time the fourth set rolled around, Wawrinka had more energy. Djokovic looked like he’d run up the steps of the Empire State Building. Djokovic won the first two major titles of the season in Melbourne and Paris, but then he went into hid- ing this summer. He lost early at Wimbledon, to American Sam Quer- rey. He said he had some personal problems to work out, without giv- ing details. Then he had a sore wrist.

At the Olympic Games in Rio, Djokovic lost his first match, to eventual silver-medalist Juan Martín del Potro. He played little before the U.S. Open, and not much more once he got here, either, because his opponents kept getting hurt. One of them withdrew before their match began and two others retired during play. Djokovic said the rest had helped and that he was at his peak headed into the final. Peak Djokovic is nearly invincible—really, there’s only one man these days who stands a good chance. Blake explained why Wawrinka is that man. “He has the ability to hit someone off the court, and he can have that clear in his mind,” Blake said. “Peo- ple play their best when they have a clear plan and they’re not second- guessing.” Wawrinka now has a 5-19 record against Djokovic in his career. He’ll never pull even, but he won’t mind. When it counts, there’s no man in tennis better than Stan. “He’s a man for the big tournaments,” Norman said. “He’s a man of the big matches.”

U.S. Open champion Angelique
Kerber officially became the oldest
woman to debut at No. 1 in the
WTA rankings, ending Serena Wil-
liams’ record-tying run of 186 con-
secutive weeks in the top spot.
Monday’s rankings are the first
since February 2013 without Wil-
liams at No. 1.
The 28-year-old Kerber’s rise
from No. 2 was assured when Wil-
liams lost in the semifinals at
Flushing Meadows.
Kerber (above) went on to beat
Karolina Pliskova in Saturday’s final
for her second Grand Slam title of
the season. She defeated Williams
at the Australian Open in January,
then was the runner-up to the
American at Wimbledon in July.
