ATP: Federer likes to party with Wawrinka

The stars of the ATP tour also have to do with each other off the tennis court. Roger Federer likes to have his compatriot Stan Wawrinka at his side, especially at a party or party.

In addition to fitness training, strength exercises and media appointments, two Swiss people seem to enjoy taking a break at a party. To be precise: the two best active players in their country, Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka.

In an interview with the CoopZeitung, Federer admitted that he can best celebrate on the dance floor with his compatriot:”It’s always fun with Stan – and with Severin Lüthi. If he’s already there, he’s gonna hit the gas.”

After all, last season Federer had every reason to have a well-balanced party. With seven titles in the calendar year, there were certainly a few celebrations. If you want to believe the “Maestro”,”Stanimal” seems to be more of a “Partyanimal”. However, the sporting pleasure at Wawrinka was only moderate in 2017. With the title in Geneva, which he won against Mischa Zverev in the final, the 32-year-old slipped into the “most difficult phase of his career”, as Wawrinka described it. After the tournament in Wimbledon, the three-time Grand Slam champion had to undergo knee surgery and announced the separation from his long-time coach Magnus Norman. Wawrinka was “shocked”by the unexpected dismissal.

Federer could not confirm whether other pros on the tour will be able to rock the dancefloor,”I don’t know if the other players are. You meet the boys on the pitch rather than at a party,”he explained.

However, this can be imagined for some professionals. Example: The Frenchman Gael Monfils has an extraordinary talent for movement and already enraptured the audience with a few dances. Novak Djokovic was also challenged to a dance on a court and presented himself as anything but hip stiff.
