Stan Wawrinka hasn’t won Wimbledon, the only Grand Slam, but even though he’s back in the third round at the ripe old age of 38, he doesn’t expect to take home the trophy. Nevertheless, Stan Wawrinka is still extremely excited about facing Novak Djokovic at SW 19 on Friday on Center Court.
The Swiss player commented: “There’s zero opportunity to win Wimbledon for me, I think. I’m happy to have won today again. I think it was great match. I’m playing better each match, and as I say, I think it’s an honour to play Novak here. I was missing that on my career to play him in the Grand Slam in Wimbledon. That’s the last [place] I never played him, and it’s going to be a difficult challenge.
