And Wawrinka said he was also continuing to fight because it would be “impossible” to come back again if he finally decided to stop playing. “I think you need to see it as the big picture,” the current world No 100. “The day you stop your sport there is no return. There is no way back, because it’s impossible to stop after 30 and then try to come back. It’s almost impossible, it’s so tough. And then you have to see [what is] also tough [is] I’m getting really old for my sport. [But] I’m still really young in my life.
“After tennis, there are still so many years to do other stuff, so all together, I want to enjoy as much as possible. It’s a privilege to be a tennis player. It’s a privilege to be playing at that level, to be playing in the biggest tournaments in the world. As long as I’m feeling competitive with what I’m doing, that I feel like I can beat the top players, I’m enjoying that.”
The 16-time title winner proved that he still had a lot left in him as he downed 26th seed Miomir Kecmanovic in Indian Wells to progress to the third round, but when he does finally call it a day he will definitely still have a friend in Murray. Discussing their friendship, the Brit said: “Me and Stan always stayed in touch during the injuries. I mean not daily but messages here and there. We always got on very well together and obviously have shared the court many times with each other and stuff. We always sort of message each other and stayed in touch through the injuries.”
