Stan Wawrinka is about to commence his run at the French Open, a tournament that he won back in 2015 when he defeated Novak Djokovic in the final. This year. the Swiss sensation will face Andy Murray in the first round in Paris in what will be a blockbuster match. Here Stan’s brief bio.

He got married to Ilham Vuilloud, a Swiss television presenter and former fashion model, back in 2009 and they had a daughter named Alexia, on 12 February 2010.

Stan’s tattoos
Stan has a tattoo on his left arm with the quote of Irish writer Samuel Beckett saying: “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” On his right part of his body, Stan has his daughter’s name tattooed.
Wawrinka’s girlfriends and his relationship with Muguruza
After his separation with Ilham, Stan used to date for long fellow tennis player Donna Vekic. However, they parted ways in 2019.
This year, during the global lockdown, Stan Wawrinka was caught training with former world no.1 Garbine Muguruza more than once. This is sometimes (not always) a sign of a plausible romance. Later Garbine posted a series of “happy pictures” by a pool that was most probably Stan’s to prompt a gossip that the 2 slam champions were dating. Still, we have never noticed so far Garbine in Stan’s player’s box and vice-versa that is often the confirmation of a romance.
Wawrinka’s net worth
Stan has won 16 career titles and 3 slams so far and he has won US$ 34,304,677 in prize money. Wawrinka’s net worth is estimated at around $ 16 million.
