Stan Wawrinka feels he can still play some big matches

39 years old and not a bit quieter. Even though Stan Wawrinka’s great successes are several years in the past, the old master from Switzerland has not lost his passion for tennis. However, “Stan the Man” is finding it increasingly difficult to win important games. In September of the previous year, the three-time major winner was ranked 40th in the world rankings, but is currently only ranked 87th in the ATP rankings.

This has also brought the Swiss a lot of criticism from his fans in recent weeks, who have suggested that he should soon end his career on social media. However, Wawrinka has a different and equally clear opinion on this topic, as colleagues from tennisuptodate.com report.

“Passion doesn’t go away”

“At the end of the day I decide what I want to do with my tennis career. And I still really enjoy what I do and am still so passionate about it. I still feel competitive, I’m ready to play some more big matches and some Winning good matches. I want to continue because it’s a chance to continue playing at this level.”

In addition, his role as a role model is important to the ex-world number three: “I think it’s also a good example for young children if you show them that passion doesn’t disappear just because you get older.”
