No. 1 Sampras in QF, No. 2 Courier in F) • First player to win his maiden Grand Slam title over a World No. 1 since Juan Martin del Potro at US Open in 2009 (d. Federer) • Breaks streak of 16 straight Grand Slam titles won by Big 4 since Juan Martin del Potro won ’09 US Open (34 of past 35 Slam titles) • First player to beat Djokovic and Nadal in a Grand Slam tournament. Wawrinka had lost 14 in a row to Djokovic and 12 straight to Nadal • Defeated three Top 10 opponents in the same tournament for first time (No. 2 Djokovic in QF, No. 7 Berdych in SF, No. 1 Nadal in F) • Third different player to defeat Nadal in a Grand Slam final, joining Djokovic (three times) and Federer (twice) • Joins Roger Federer (17 titles) as second Swiss man to win a Grand Slam singles crown • Defeated a World No. 1 for the first time in his career after 15 losses. • Became the first No. 8 seed to win a Grand Slam title since Brian Teacher won the Australian Open in 1980.
