Stan Wawrinka Joins the Pod, From Aussie Glory to Partying Like a Grand Slam Champion | EP 32

Video Description

In this Saturday special of Nothing Major, the boys sit down with their first Major champion—none other than Stan “The Man” Wawrinka. The 3-time Grand Slam champ doesn’t hold back as he dishes on the match against Djokovic that made him believe he could hang with the big dogs, the wild ride to his 2014 Aussie Open win, and why celebrating a Slam with a proper party is absolutely mandatory. Stan also breaks down the fine art of snapping a racquet over his knee (it’s all in the technique), explains why he’d rather face Rafa than Roger in a Slam final, and spills on why the US Open was the toughest one to conquer. -- 00:00 Intro 00:32 Stan Wawrinka joins the podcast 01:13 How a reel convinced Stan to come on 02:18 Stan’s routine at the Australian Open 03:23 Tough 2013 loss to Djokovic 06:15 Did Stan believe he could win the 2014 AO? 08:49 Federer or Nadal in the final—who did he prefer? 10:49 The epic party after winning the 2014 AO 11:47 Life after becoming a Grand Slam champion 16:45 Playing his best tennis to win Roland-Garros 2015 21:07 What does it take to win a Grand Slam? 22:10 Is Stan part of the “Big Four”? 23:26 Facing Rafa in the 2017 Roland-Garros final 24:10 Why Stan enjoys playing Novak 26:55 The love of competition 27:27 Stan flips the script: Do the guys miss tennis? 29:10 Stan’s relationship with the younger generation 30:28 Major Q&A with Stan 31:41 Stan’s Vegas Draft 33:48 How to break a racket over your knee 35:03 Outro
