This is why it is important to have charismatic players and or with great skills.

Well done for Stan, TOP 5 is quite close. Also Berd should be satisfied.

Stan is going to be a tough prospect for Nadal or Federer.

This isn't the same guy as before. The confidence is there, he is a better player than ever before, and he will fight tooth and nail for his first Slam. By comparison, Nadal will not have the same hunger as a first time finalist, and Federer will be more nervous than usual. I don't think it's going to be one sided. Everyone thinks because he has yet to take a set off Nadal that it's a foregone conclusion should he get there. It certainly isn't. Stan beat Djokovic ending a massive losing streak. And he can do it again, to Nadal.
Stan may well win this Slam. I just hope it's Federer.

Nole played a terrible match the other day, so I wouldn't let that guide you into Stan's form.
I think Stan played better last year in AO, in fact.
In my opinion, Stan will at best play one or two competitive sets.
The emotions will be too much for him.
On top if everything else, of course.

I disagree. By Djokovic's own admission, he played the best he could. Stan didn't allow him to play his best. I would not write off Stan. He's ended one bad record, and he is definitely not the push over he once was.

Allez! He deserves at least one fanboy, doesn't he? He plays the most watchable tennis for me.
