TENNIS : STAN WAWRINKA TAKES OUT ANDY MURRAY IN 5-SET THRILLER AT FRENCH OPEN SEMI FINALS !

Stan Wawrinka has taken out World No. 1 Andy Murray in a 5-Set thriller at the French Open Semi Finals.

The 2015 French Open Champion, 'The Thinking Man' Stan Wawrinka has extinguished Andy Murray's hope to win his first French Open crown.

Andy Murray was Finalist last year at French Open 2016, but lost to Novak Djokovic who emerged the triumphant 2016 French Open Champion.

Novak Djokovic lost miserably to Dominic Thiem in the Quarter Finals, this year.

With his sensational win over Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka will now appear in the Finals - - for the second time in his career.

He will face 14-Time Grand Slam Champion Rafael Nadal who will attempt to rewrite tennis history with an unprecedented 10th French Open crown.

Can Stan The Man stop the raging Spanish Bull?

History shall be decided in Paris, Sunday.
