NEW YORK -- In his first service game, Stan Wawrinka framed forehands on back-to-back points. He completely whiffed on a returnable serve in the next, and suddenly you got the feeling an overtaxed Wawrinka wasnt seeing the ball -- wasnt feeling it -- in this final Grand Slam match of the season.But in recent years, the 31-year-old Swiss player has made a spectacular living proving people wrong.It happened again Sunday at the US Open. Wawrinka, who came into this final having spent nearly twice as much time on court as Novak Djokovic,?imposed his will in fiercely forceful fashion.The score of this bruising, 3-hour, 55-minute match: 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3.Wawrinka has now won all three of the Grand Slam finals in which he has played. And all three times, he beat the worlds No. 1 player.You cant be any more clutch than that.Theres more, too. Wawrinka saved a match point against Dan Evans in the third round. And he has now won 11 consecutive finals. In the match-altering, nerve-testing area of break points, Wawrinka saved 14 of 17.During the trophy ceremony, Wawrinka, perhaps thinking of some of his vital career wins over Djokovic, told the Serb, Because of you, Im where I am today.Later, Wawrinka added, I came here without putting a goal to win it. I think I played quite a lot of tennis these two weeks.I am completely empty.Earlier, Djokovic addressed Wawrinka, saying, This has been absolutely deserved today. You were a more courageous player in decisive moments.Concluding the interview, Djokovic said, He was the tougher player mentally.Wawrinka alone prevented Djokovic from winning all four majors a year ago and from winning three this season. Djokovic was trying to join Roger Federer as the only man to win three Grand Slam singles titles two years in a row.Three career majors -- the same as Andy Murray. It might be time to rethink that Big Four thing.Djokovic, who in recent years turned resolve from a liability into a weapon, was the one who cracked in those defining late-set moments. Serving at 5-6 to stay in the third set, Djokovic made two backhand errors to give Wawrinka the critical frame.All things told, this was a wonderful demonstration of tennis.Wawrinka, with some thunderous shots from both sides, moved Djokovic around the court. But the Serb is the games best defender, and he absorbed the majority of those blows with some sublime footwork, hand-eye coordination and intuition that borders on telepathy.The subsidiary drama concerned Wawrinkas stamina. He invested a great deal of energy in mounting a comeback in the first set before losing the tiebreaker.Coming into the match, the No. 3-seeded Swiss had spent 17 hours, 54 minutes on court in six matches here. Djokovic, who saw three opponents come up injured and played only three complete matches, was on the court for 8 hours, 58 minutes -- two minutes shy of exactly half his opponents total.Djokovic was unable to extend the match long enough to bring that advantage into play, but it was he who appeared to be visited by leg cramps in the fourth set after the fourth game. That set off a fascinating sequence.According to ATP World Tour rules, trainers cannot be called on court to treat cramps alone. Instead, treatment requires an acute medical condition, and it should occur only on changeovers. But Djokovic asked for the trainer and immediately took both his shoes off, gesturing to his toes, which were then taped.Wawrinka, who had seen an apparently cramping Evans ask for a trainer in his third-round match -- and be denied -- complained vigorously.Sorry, man, said Djokovic to Wawrinka.It looked like a page from Sports Psychology 101, a desperate piece of gamesmanship, a classic icing-the-kicker play.ESPN commentator Patrick McEnroe agreed. Complete abuse of the rules, he said on the broadcast. Its up to the officials to do something about it. They just dont have the guts to do it. Thats the bottom line.In the end, it didnt matter. Wawrinka handled the entire episode with restraint and poise. The two players, who are friendly, embraced warmly at net and talked amiably.Now, believe it or not, all Wawrinka needs is a title at Wimbledon to complete his career Grand Slam.On court, he was asked about his mastery in some of the sports massive moments.I dont know, Wawrinka said, laughing. Ive been practicing hard since many million years. My goal is to give everything I have to be the best player I can. Im trying, step by step.Thats what happened tonight.

Last year, South Carolina native and University of Georgia product Kevin Kisner took home the victory, and he returns in 2016 looking for a chance to repeat.Our experts have put together the players they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy point totals. This weeks panel comprises Jason Sobel, Jonathan Coachman and Michael Collins as well as FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Jason Sobel -- Zach Johnson ($9,700)Pick a resident, any resident. Sea Island is home to a growing percentage of PGA Tour professionals these days, which means plenty of guys in this weeks field will be sleeping in their own beds. Ill take Johnson, who hasnt won since last years Open Championship but should be due for another title soon.Michael Collins -- Matt Kuchar ($11,200)In the five times he has played this event, he has never finished outside the top 25. This is a home game for Kuchar, so this year playing on two courses (Seaside and Plantation) should give him just a slight advantage over many of the other players.Jonathan Coachman -- Zach Johnson ($9,700)This week I am going with someone who is always comfortable playing in this part of the country because he lives there -- Johnson. He hasnt had the year he would have wanted, but winning in the final event of 2016 can change all of that. And this week, he gets the job done.Taras Pitra -- Roberto Castro ($8,200)Castro has had a really good 2016 season and hasnt missed a cut in about four months. Many will look at his finishing position and price and go elsewhere, but I dont think thats a wise move this week. Hes a strong tee-to-green player who just needs the putter to show up in order to contennd.dddddddddddd Hes not really a flashy name in the industry, but hes a strong, high-upside candidate this week and should primarily be considered for tournaments.Jeff Bergerson -- Hudson Swafford ($7,700)One of the most difficult things to do in DFS golf is to get all six of your players through the cut, so when you can lock in a guy who has made 16 consecutive cuts, you do not hesitate. Although Swafford has not shown big upside, his price remains reasonable at $7,700 and allows you flexibility with the rest of your roster. A University of Georgia product, Swafford has missed two of three cuts in this event but did have a 12th-place finish in 2014. I would recommend utilizing Swafford mostly for cash-game purposes this week.Zach Turcotte -- Billy Horschel ($8,600)After playing a relaxed schedule last season, Horschel returned to the Tour this fall and promptly missed the cut a week ago in Mexico. Although it has been a number of years since his last stop in Sea Island, his game should fit well in this event. Hes a solid ball striker with balance on length, accuracy and hitting greens. After missing the cut last week, Horschel comes at a nice discount, and in a field this soft, hes a strong bounce-back play this week.Jason Rouslin -- Stewart Cink ($6,900)Stewart comes home to Sea Island Resort course off back-to-back 15th-place finishes. Im sure spending time at home with his wife, who is battling cancer, and coming in with some great recent form will give him all the extra motivation he needs. He has made the cut in only three of five starts here, so if you need reason not to roster him, thats it. I expect him to be around for the weekend and look for his first top 10 here in Georgia. ' ' '
