Swiss tennis player Stan Wawrinka has been missing from the ATP Tour for a considerable period now. The three-time Grand Slam champion has not made an appearance this year since March as he’s still struggling with a foot injury. Unfortunately, injuries have been a frequent occurrence in Stan’s career over the past few years. 

Recently, the 36-year-old player released a video in which you can see Wawrinka training hard in the gym in order to regain full fitness. 

Stan Wawrinka to miss the first Major of the season

In the clip, the Swiss tennis star was wearing an all-black outfit and was seen engaging in various exercises. Also, one could see the Swiss ace performing exercises which focused on his knee, which has been an area of concern for the 36-year-old. Initially, Wawrinka posted the video from his own Twitter account with the caption, “You may not be there yet, but you are closer than you were yesterday.”

Coming to tennis, Wawrinka is one of the prominent names that will skip the Australian Open 2022. Having won the tournament previously in 2014, he would look at this as a missed opportunity to compete in the venue where he won his first Grand Slam title. 

Well, seeing the manner in which he is training, it seems to be only a matter of time before we see him competing on the Tour again. His good friend and compatriot Roger Federer too has been on the sidelines and is expected to return sometime later in 2022. 

Now the focus in the tennis world is on the Australian Open. The tournament begins on the 17th of January 2022 and will end on the 30th of January. It will be interesting to see how the players perform during the first Grand Slam event of the season.
