"Week after week, I think in general the level is there": Wawrinka sets goal to be seeded after return to top 100

Stan Wawrinka is back to the top 100 and now he wants to be a seeded player at big events again as he continues to work since coming back from injury last year.

Wawrinka made a winning start at Indian Wells and he was very happy about it because it's not been much winning the past few years for him. Fully healthy and competing every week, Wawrinka is sowing a really solid level, probably one worthy of the top 50 with a clear goal to return there.

Speaking after his Indian Wells win, Wawrinka said:

"I feel good. I am happy to be back in one of the best ATP tournaments. It is always special here, it is packed from day one. The atmosphere is great and I am happy with the win today. I hope I can win as many matches this year."

He continued:

"To be back in the top-100 is always an important number. Of course, I want to keep going up in the rankings. Hopefully, I can also reach to be seeded in Grand Slams and these (ATP Masters 1000) events. We'll see. Week after week, I think in general the level is there, so hopefully I can keep winning a lot of matches this year."
