NEW YORK: Stan Wawrinka admitted he had never expected to win the US Open title as he basked in his shock 6-7 (1/7), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 triumph over Novak Djokovic on Sunday. But he also praised 12-time major winner Djokovic, the 2011 and 2015 champion, for helping him raise his game. I’d like to congratulate you on everything you have done,” Wawrinka said at the presentation ceremony. I came here without the goal of winning it, but I stepped on the court trying to win the match. He had also played nine hours’ more tennis than Djokovic to reach the final.
