Wawrinka stuns injured Nadal to win Australian Open

To the Aussie fans who booed Rafa for their mistaken perception of his "gamesmanship" I say, BOO ! There is not an unsportsmanlike bone in this great Spanish champion's body. He is the consummate professional ! And as for the 2014 Australian Open champion, Stan Wawrinka, a hearty congratulations on a job well done ! Only 16 more 'til you tie your compatriot Fed ! Stan is the man !

Listless just because Nadal's back was in bad shape

Poor title. I wouldnt say stun. Well, Nadal was stunned by his injury, not his opponent.

You win some, you lose some.

Not the ideal way to win a title but he's played well in the tournament. Well done.

I'm still doubt about whether Rafa medical time-out was genuine or as usual as his past tactic. Rafa deserved "Booing" from spectators because everyone was in doubt about his back injury in second set.

Rafa, Serena, Azarenka and some other players have abused the game system again and again in the past. Almost every players who play Rafa have complaint about Rafa tactic. I think Rafa got Booing from spectators was his Karma. Everyone should play fair game.

Rafa can't match Wawrinka's powerful and precise back hand return. Rafa tactic has working on Wawrinka and in the third set Wawrinka mind was not in the game and lost concentration.

Wawrinka deserved Australian Open Trophy more than anyone else this year. He beat DJ and he beat Rafa. He is the Champ.

Rafa can't match Wawrinka's powerful and precise back hand return.

Really? Then how do you explain the fact that this was the first time in THIRTEEN attempts that Wawrinska has beaten Nadal? Nonetheless, congratulations to both players - Nadal couldn't even compete last time, and Wawrinska finally gets a biggie at the grand 'old' age of 28. Nice to see someone outside of the 'Big Four' although Wawrinska will now be ranked number 3.

Anyway, I'm just over the moon for Li Na's win. Another record, not just for China, but for Asia.

Do you think players have never change and winner always won and loser always lost? What a dumb thinking? Listen to Pete Sampras’s comment about Wawrinka and Nadel.

I was watching inside Rod Lever arena and later replay at home. Wawrinka play fantastic and Nadel has run out of options. So after he lost one set and 2-0 down in second set and then he went fake injury time-out.

Wawrinka's back hand return was smooth, powerful and precisely if you watch in first set. In the third set, Wawrinka has lost concentration and he was not in game as what Nedal wanted.

Nedal has been using that kind of tactic for long time. He try to change his opponent momentum by taken out Injury time out. Almost everyone who play with Nedal has complaint about his tactic even gentleman Roger Federer can not stay shut his mouth. Nedal will serve slowly and he will take a place slowly to distract his opponent.

Nedal will use all methods available to him to win the game. It's cheating the game. We are very much supporter of Nedal since his debut in Melbourne Park where he play against Llenton Hewitt in 2004. We love fair play. Later, Nedal has been complaint by almost players who play with him.

Most importantly, Rafa must grow up and play tennis with honest and like real sportsman.

Then how do you explain the fact that this was the first time in THIRTEEN attempts that Wawrinska has beaten Nadal?

I see my question wasn't answered, Kobuta chan.

Pukey, if you understand English and then read my first paragraph. Okay, here's I copy and paste it for you. Read it mate.
