How Many Grand Slams Did Stan Wawrinka Win?
Stan Wawrinka won three Grand Slam men’s singles championships between 2014 and 2016. He captured a different major in each of those three seasons.

All three victories came against opponents who were ranked world No. 1 at the time. Wawrinka defeated Nadal in Melbourne and Djokovic in both Paris and New York.
His major victories were particularly impressive because they came during an era dominated by Roger Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.
However, Wimbledon remained the one Grand Slam tournament Wawrinka never won. His best performances at the grass-court major were quarterfinal appearances in 2014 and 2015.

Stan Wawrinka’s Three Grand Slam Titles
2014 Australian Open: First Grand Slam Victory
The 2014 Australian Open marked a major turning point in Wawrinka’s career.
Entering the tournament as the eighth seed, the Swiss player produced one of his finest performances in the quarterfinals against defending champion Novak Djokovic.
Wawrinka won their five-set encounter 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 9-7, ending a 14-match losing streak against the Serbian.
He then defeated Tomáš Berdych in the semifinals to reach his first Grand Slam singles final.
In the championship match, Wawrinka faced top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who had won all 12 of their previous meetings.
Despite Nadal struggling with a back injury during the match, Wawrinka maintained his advantage and secured a 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 victory.
At 28 years old, Wawrinka became a Grand Slam singles champion for the first time. His victory also helped him reach a career-high world ranking of No. 3.
2015 French Open: Defeating Novak Djokovic in Paris
Wawrinka’s second Grand Slam title came at the 2015 French Open, where he delivered one of the most memorable performances of his career.
He defeated fellow Swiss star Roger Federer in straight sets in the quarterfinals before overcoming Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semifinals.
In the final, he faced world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who had beaten Rafael Nadal earlier in the tournament and was seeking his first Roland Garros title.
Djokovic took the opening set, but Wawrinka responded with aggressive groundstrokes and his powerful one-handed backhand.
The Swiss player eventually won 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to claim his first French Open championship.
The victory gave Wawrinka his second major singles title and prevented Djokovic from completing the career Grand Slam that year.
2016 US Open: Third Grand Slam Title
Wawrinka claimed his third and final Grand Slam singles title at the 2016 US Open in New York.
His journey was far from straightforward.
In the third round, he saved a match point against Britain’s Dan Evans before surviving a five-set contest.
He later defeated former champion Juan Martín del Potro in the quarterfinals and Kei Nishikori in the semifinals.
That set up another major final against Novak Djokovic, who was the defending champion and world No. 1.
Djokovic won the opening set in a tiebreak, but Wawrinka recovered to take the next three sets.
He completed a 6-7(1), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 victory to secure the championship.
At 31, Wawrinka became a three-time Grand Slam singles champion, completing a remarkable run of three major titles in three consecutive years.
2017 French Open: Wawrinka’s Fourth Grand Slam Final
Wawrinka returned to the French Open final in 2017, giving himself an opportunity to win a fourth major.
He reached the championship match after defeating Andy Murray in a demanding five-set semifinal.
In the final, however, he faced Rafael Nadal, who was pursuing his tenth Roland Garros singles title.
Nadal dominated the match and defeated Wawrinka 6-2, 6-3, 6-1.
This was Wawrinka’s first defeat in a Grand Slam singles final, leaving him with a career finals record of three victories and one defeat.
It was also his last appearance in a major singles final.

2026 Australian Open — Third Round

He again faced Matteo Berrettini, this time in New York.
Berrettini won 7-6(4), 7-6(3), 6-0 on August 31, 2026, bringing Wawrinka’s Grand Slam singles career to an end.
His professional career concluded on October 27 at the Swiss Indoors Basel, where he lost to Jiří Lehečka in the first round.
Stan Wawrinka’s Grand Slam Legacy
Wawrinka’s Grand Slam achievements stand out because he won all three of his major titles against world No. 1 opponents.
He was also one of the relatively few players who regularly challenged the best players of his generation in Grand Slam competition.
His powerful one-handed backhand, aggressive baseline game, and ability to perform in demanding five-set matches became defining features of his playing style.
Beyond his Grand Slam success, Wawrinka won 16 ATP Tour singles titles, earned an Olympic men’s doubles gold medal alongside Roger Federer in 2008, and helped Switzerland win the Davis Cup in 2014.
Although he never completed the career Grand Slam because he did not win Wimbledon, his three major singles championships in Melbourne, Paris, and New York remain the defining achievements of his career.
