Add as preferred source on Google

Events on court during the 2015 calendar will partly be remembered for the inspirational power of Stan Wawrinka famous red, white and grey plaid shorts, worn by the right-hander on his way to a memorable Grand Slam title at Roland Garros in early June.

The Swiss produced the performance of his life to beat red-hot favourite Novak Djokovic in the Paris final when victory for the Serbian would have completed a coveted career Grand Slam. In doing so, Stan the Man became the only player to beat Djokovic at a major in 2015.

A keyring featuring a miniature version of those memorable shorts now hangs from the Wawrinka racket bag as a permanent reminder.
