For some players, so much can happen in one year. Stan Wawrinka reached the 4th round of the French Open last year, which is a respectable finish for a top 20 player, Stan's rank last year, but after making a breakthrough in Melbourne this year and ranked already very near the top, it would seem that Wawrinka's ascendancy has been meteoric.
Well, it does help that Stan has a relatively easy draw in the French Open this year, something which he should exploit to the hilt. His toughest opponents could be two Frenchmen Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet and Spanish player Feliciano Lopez.
Rafael Nadal will most likely be his semifinal opponent and it would be interesting if he can do what he did successfully in the Melbourne final again here in Paris.
