Stan Wawrinka will return to the top-100 tomorrow after reaching the quarterfinals of the Open 13 Provence.
The 37-year-old tennis player has struggled with injuries over the last few seasons. In 2021, he was part of the top-20, but after two surgeries, he fell out of the top 200 players in the world. "Stan the Man" continued to fight despite expectations of his retirement, and showed that with hard work, he can still compete.
The Swiss player managed to return to the top-100 thanks to reaching the quarterfinals at Rotterdam last week and the quarterfinals of the Marseille Open this week. The tennis player shared an emotional reflection on Twitter:
“Work hard and follow your dreams, but never forget where you came from. Young me dreaming of entering the top 100 ATP. Old me entering the top 100 ATP again! I achieved way more than I could have dreamed of but it’s always gonna be special!” said Wawrinka.
Former world No. 3 is one of the most successful players in recent years and has won three Grand Slam titles (Australia 2014, Roland Garros 2015 and US Open 2016). Wawrinka is now preparing to play the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells this week.
