Stan Wawrinka ruled out the possibility of winning grand slams after coming back from major surgery noting that Nadal and Federer are the only ones who can do that.

"I think it's impossible to compare Roger and Rafa with the rest of the players. I think we are all different. I had the first big surgery in 2017. I came back to top 20. I was playing a really high level and I was really happy with that. Now I did another surgery. I'm 37 years old, 38 next year. I'm not getting younger. It's more difficult."

Despite not seeing himself as good enough to win grand slams he does believe that he can win events still:

"I do believe I still have some big results in me. I do believe I can win tournaments. I hope I will do this next season. Not sure which level of tournament, but, yeah, as long as I enjoy what I'm doing, love what I'm doing, know that I do the right thing to be at my best, I will keep going a little bit."
