    nice article on Stan Wawrinka

    The Players' Tribune: One Last Chapter by Stan Wawrinka | The Players’ Tribune.
    I did not know if I would ever make it back. But I loved tennis too much not to try.

    It's almost like romance. The longing, pain, suffering, the work and then finally the payoff. So interesting to see how complicated it is from the inside. I tell people the story about Wawrinka shaking in the locker room before his final at the US Open. Then, he goes out and wins.

    I really like the part about making himself tired. He doesn't fight the fatigue but he actually lets himself relax. Stop fighting the demons and just play each point.

    He might be one of the most clutch players in this generation. There are others that are better everyday and have won more slams. But Stan is the ultimate big match player.

    Thanks for sharing!

      Just the fact that he won 3 Slams(and 1 Master's 1000) is impressive in the era of the 3 great ones.

        I agree. Stan & Murray deserve a lot of respect for winning their majors in their era - each beating one or two near-peak GOATS to win. Enjoyed the article too. Go Stan!

          For all the lavish men in our lives, these Silk Maison pajamas are made with 100% mulberry silk that feels cool on the skin. The matching set has color-contrasting piping, adding an elevated touch to everyday sleepwear https://www.brides.com/cover-story-c...-story-5204969.
