Stan Wawrinka says he feels privileged to be a tennis player and hinted he will stay active as long as he feels competitive.
Wawrinka, who will be turning 38 later this month, is a three-time Grand Slam champion and a former world No 3.
Now, Wawrinka is ranked at No 100 in the world and he is not anymore one of the best players in the game.
But Wawrinka still loves tennis and he is always reminding himself of how he once dreamed of just being a pro tennis player.
“As long as I feel competitive, I want to keep going, but I also want to remind people not to forget where you came from and what your dream was when you were young. It doesn't matter if I've won three Grand Slams, if I've achieved much more than I could dream of. It still has to be special. If you want to keep pushing yourself past 30 and want to keep being passionate about it, things have to be special. My dream was to be a professional tennis player, at that time it was to reach the Top 100," Wawrinka said, per Punto de Break.
Wawrinka: I feel I can still winWawrinka, who has 16 ATP titles in his collection, hasn't won an ATP title since 2017.
In 2020, Wawrinka did win one title but it came on the Challenger level.
Wawrinka hasn't won an ATP title in six years but he still believes he can win one before he retires.
“I feel competitive. I know that when I go out on court, most times I can beat my opponent. I am no longer young. Things are a bit more complicated than before, but I still believe that I can win tournaments. I don't know what tournament level, but of course I can win a trophy before I stop. After tennis, there are still a lot of years to do things, so I want to enjoy it as much as I can. It is a privilege to be a tennis player, to play at this level, to be in the biggest tournaments in the world. In the end, we all have a different vision of tennis, that's the beauty of it," Wawrinka said.
