Suddenly it happened so quickly that Stan Wawrinka hardly had time to realize what was happening to him. Or better, perhaps: what he let happen. One last serve, a backhand from Novak Djokovic that got long and longer. And from one moment to the next, the 31-year-old Romand won the US Open. It was 6: 7 (1: 7), 6: 4, 7: 5, 6: 3 at the end.
