Stan Wawrinka is back working with Magnus Norman and he is through to the second round of Roland Garros.
It was an interesting match between two veterans whose countries begin with an 'S'. Switzerland's Wawrinka proved victorious beating Spain's Ramos and it was a good start for him. Not perfect in any sense but it's a win and Wawrinka will take it.
He is aware that he's a title contender or anything like that but he's simply enjoying this time on the court knowing this year or next year might be his last. He doesn't have any regrets when it comes to his career admitting it was a beautiful one.
Well, first of all, this beautiful career I have had, I don't focus on the past. I'm always focusing on the present, so I'm not always thinking about what I have accomplished, about what I have done in each tournament. For me, thinking about all this is when I will stop playing. As long as I keep playing, it's always been important to be in the present, in the moment with the objectives for the future.
To help him stay present in the moment Wawrinka enlisted his former coach Magnus Norman again. They had some incredible runs together in the past and for Wawrinka, it's a bit poetic to finish this last chapter together on a high note. Both are highly motivated as well.
We are very happy, both of us. We are highly motivated. We really want to finish our last chapter together, and it's the end of my career. We have experienced beautiful emotions, both of us. He won his Grand Slams with me as a player, so it's very positive. We know each other well enough to know what we want to achieve, what we can still achieve, and I hope that good results will come.
