Fellow countryman and 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer didn't waste any words:

Wawrinka's coach, former Swedish tennis player Magnus Norman, himself a runnerup in the 2000 French Open, was beaming at the outcome:
Better picture then this i will not be able to take guys. Thank you @stanwawrinka. You are a champion in many ways! pic.twitter.com/9NwWqPtSwS

But a couple of WTA women players sympathized with Wawrinka and the emotions that ran high as the trophies were handed out at Roland Garros:
My heart is literally so full for Novak right now @DjokerNole #letitout
— Irina Falconi (@IrinaFalconi) June 7, 2015
Awwww! Who else wants to give Nole a hug right now?!

Other players such as American Alison Riske and former ATP star Ivan Ljubicic were bowled over by Wawrinka's dazzling performance:
WOWrinka

Holly Swiss cow. That was something #bullets

And Serena Williams, hot of her own French Open victory on Saturday, was equally admirative:
@stanwawrinka wow! Congrats! Just wow! I wanna play like that!
— Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) June 7, 2015
But one thing that did not escape the Twittersphere was commentary on Wawrinka's shorts, which the Swiss player gladly played along with:
