Stanislas Wawrinka insists that he can be crowned French Open champion providing that he plays his best in the final.

Stanislas Wawrinka has insisted that he can win the French Open if he plays his best in the final.

The Swiss world number nine took a step closer to clinching his second Grand Slam title on Friday thanks to a four-set triumph over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semi-finals.

Wawrinka will face Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final and despite being ranked a number of places below the Serbian, the 30-year-old is confident that he can prevail at Roland Garros this weekend.

"When I play my best, I know I can beat all the players," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "I feel this is my role. This is where I should be. But I'm not forgetting that this is huge for me. It is normal because I'm not in the 'big four' - they have all played 25 finals and won so many of those.

"I still don't understand what is happening. I look at my career and I have the impression I am saying it's the final of Roland Garros. Who's playing? You know, I am going to watch this final. And then this time, it's me. But I am not forgetting that this is huge for me. It's not normal because I am not in the 'big four'."

Wawrinka's only previous appearance in a Grand Slam final saw him beat Rafael Nadal in four sets to win the Australian Open in 2014.
