“Today Is No Ordinary Day”: Stan Wawrinka Hints at Comeback in Yonex’s Special Advertisement

Touted to have one of the best single-handed backhands the sport has ever witnessed, three-time grand slam champion Stan Wawrinka is struggling with injuries off late.

The Swiss star played at the ATP Qatar Open earlier this year and didn’t play another tournament since due to right-foot injury.

While a comeback from Wawrinka was expected at the French Open as he is a natural clay-courter, the recurring injury forced the Swiss to withdrew from the event.

The former world number three, who had a dream-run on the ATP tour from 2014-2016, struggled with knee injury in 2017 and has been in and out of form ever since.

Fans across the globe await Wawrinka’s return as he targets the upcoming US hard-court season.

Right from the beginning of his career, the Swiss star is using racquets made by popular sports equipment manufacturer, Yonex.

On the account of celebrating the 75th anniversary of the popular brand, Yonex has been making a series of inspired commercials on their sponsored athletes. Recently, they shot with Naomi Osaka, and now, Wawrinka joins the pack.

In the video, the former world number three could be seen prepping himself to make a grand return to the sport.

“Today could just be a day. Unless you decide it’s more than that. Today is no ordinary day,” says Wawrinka in the advertisement.

Sporting Stan the Man hoodie, Yonex did a great job of promoting their brand as well as projecting the return of the three-time grand slam champion.

While an official confirmation from Stan’s team is yet to be made regarding his comeback, it’s safe to assume that the competition just gets tough at the last grand slam of the year – the US Open.
