Stan Wawrinka had a horrible 4-20 record against Novak Djokovic before the US Open final, but he was 2-2 in slams.

The Swiss has defeated Djokovic in the 2015 Roland Garros final and an epic in the 2014 Australian Open semi. Therefore, did Stan need any advice from his friend Roger Federer? Not really!
 

I didn’t need to chat with Roger

During a recent interview, Stan explained he didn’t talk to Roger before the match

“I didn’t have a chance to chat with Roger. I think Roger is one of my closest friends on the tour. It’s not the first time I play Novak. It’s not the first time that I play Novak in the big final or important match.

In the past, we talked many times with Roger. He asks me advice. I ask him advice. But, no, I didn’t ask him anything. I think I know exactly what I have to do when I play Novak, especially in final of a grand slam. I need to be ready. I need to be focused and go for it.”
