Stan Wawrinka just loves social media. He is a social and fun-loving guy who likes to react, write comments, and answer questions, especially on Instagram. Recently, he put ‘Ask me a question’ on his Instagram story. A fan asked a tricky question to the 3-time Grand Slam winner. He asked if the Swiss player was considering to retire at any time soon.
Wawrinka is 35 years old at the moment. He is certainly fit but surely lacks the same intensity as he used to have. But, what was shocking was that the Swiss responded that he would retire anytime soon. This is definitely not what fans wanted to hear. It was astonishing, coming out of the box completely.
