Wawrinka set to reunite with former coach Magnus Norman to finish career: "We are looking for the best possible balance to write a final chapter"

Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka will work with his former coach Magnus Norman for the final chapter of his career.

Wawrinka is not going to play for much longer and he has spoken about that a couple of times this year. While still capable of great tennis, his body is not able to keep up with tennis demands anymore which is why he's been sidelined so much in the past few years.

He'll turn to a familiar face to write the final chapter of his career as he's set to reunite with Magnus Norman who coached him from 2013 to 2020. Under Norman, Wawrinka peaked in his career by winning a couple of grand slams which got norman a coach of the year award in 2016.

Wawrinka revealed the news in a talk with Le Matin:

"There was change after the US Open. I decided to stop working with Dani Vallverdu and, with Magnus, we are looking for the best possible balance to write a final chapter. He is the one who knows my game best, the one who has helped me the most in my career. He will take care of the offseason and the biggest tournaments including those of the Grand Slam. For the rest, we will discuss.”

He made a winning start in Basel taking down Casper Ruud comfortably and he attributed to the major support of the crowd:

"I have never felt such support. The public carried me, it was strong. I don’t quite know how to explain it. There is Roger’s retirement and the fact that I had not played in Switzerland for a long time. People realize that a generation is going to leave. But I’m hanging on, I don’t want to leave.”
