World No 1 Novak Djokovic entered Philippe Chatrier court on Sunday as strong favourite to secure his first title at Roland Garros but Stan Wawrinka turned the form book upside down with a 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4 comeback victory. The loss brings an end to Djokovic's 28-match unbeaten streak and means his winless run in Paris now extends to 11 attempts. "I have a lot of respect for him and his team, he's a great friend," Wawrinka said.
