Top 5 Grand Slam finals from the 2010s decade

#4 2015 French Open: Stan Wawrinka beat Novak Djokovic 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4

Stanislas Wawrinka lifted his 2nd Grand Slam title at the 2015 French Open

Appearing in his first Slam final since his breakthrough at the 2014 Australian Open, Stan Wawrinka faced a dominant World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the title match at the 2015 French Open.

A year earlier, Wawrinka had made an opening round exit at the tournament while Djokovic had fallen to Nadal in his second attempt to win the career Grand Slam. Having made a fabulous 35-2 start to the season which included titles at the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo and Rome, Djokovic was the odds-on favorite to win his maiden French Open title against a two-time Grand Slam finalist.

The Serb rode his pre-match momentum and took the opening set 6-4. But despite losing 17 of his previous 20 matches with Djokovic, it was the Wawrinka show which took centre-stage on Court Philippe Chatrier as Djokovic began to unravel under the onslaught of the Swiss' single-handed backhand.

Wawrinka began to puncture holes in Djokovic's baseline game as he broke to take the second set and make it a set apiece, and later took a two sets to one lead.

Not accustomed to the role of being the hunted, Djokovic made one last stand, taking the opening three games of the fourth. But there was no denying Wawrinka on the day.

The 'other Swiss' reeled off the next six games to become the 26th different player in the Open Era to triumph at Roland Garros. Djokovic thus fell short in his third final at the tournament, and a third attempt to win the career Grand Slam.

Incidentally, Wawrinka is also the 26th different winner in the Open Era at the US Open.
