PARIS (Reuters) - The man known as "Stanimal" will be eager to prey on his rivals when he turns up as a bonafide member of the grand slam winner's club at next week's ATP World Tour Finals.

Just how lethal Stanislas Wawrinka can be on a tennis court was clear for all to see when he ferociously clawed Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal into submission to win his debut grand slam title at January's Australian Open -- thus becoming the first man in 21 years to beat the top two seeds at a major.
