“They had put the bottles (of champagne) in the French locker room, but they quickly put them back in the Swiss locker room”said Stan Wawrinka at a press conference after Switzerland's victory against France in the 2014 Davis Cup final, played at the Pierre‐Mauroy stadium in Lille.
This “chambering” was not at all appreciated by the French players (Richard Gasquet, Gaël Monfils and Julien Benneteau were the Blues having been aligned) who had made it known to the main interested party while he was going to the toilet during of the end of tournament evening.
On the occasion of the ten years of this coronation, the RTS questioned the Swiss actors of this victory, including Roger Federer who gave his opinion on this altercation.
“Everyone congratulated me on winning the Davis Cup. I think they decided to throw all the flowers at me and basically ignore Stan. And I found it quite dirty. People said to me: 'Well done Rog', you're incredible.' And I was like, 'Okay, I see where you want to go. It's to hurt Stan'. »
