Wawrinka and the reason why he keeps playing tennis: "Passion knows no age"

Stanislas Wawrinka once again delighted with his unique and incomparable style. Moreover, he did it in a high-level tournament, at the ATP 500 in Basel, and against a significant rival like Casper Ruud. The Swiss was defeated (6-4, 7-6(5)), but showed that there is still some tennis left in his racket. When asked why he continues to play tennis at 40 years old, Stan doesn't hesitate: "From the outside, you see me at 40 years old, ranked 150th in the world, you judge me by what I have done in the past. I managed to win Grand Slams and you wonder why I'm still here, why I fight in Challengers. But passion knows no age."
