Three-time Grand Slam Stan Wawrinka is currently recovering from a foot injury that ended his 2021 season in March this year. But a while ago, the Swiss star announced his entry into the NFT market with Ball Man Project. Interestingly, the SpaceX boss Elon Musk is now looking to get on board with Wawrinka, or is he not?

Earlier, Wawrinka also shared a glimpse of what Ball Man Project NFTs might consist of on Twitter. Notably, the one he showed to announce the sales opening date portrayed his famous 2016 US Open victory. Is that what got the attention of the richest man in the world? No; Funnily enough, it was a fake tweet and Wawrinka anyways responded to it.

Before Wawrinka, women’s tennis greats Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka had already forayed into the NFT space. But what’s more interesting, the Stan Wawrinka x Ball Man Project thought they got the eye of the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk. Or probably for publicity?
