Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka have a great relationship and the Maestro is a huge fan of his friend.
Wawrinka is known for having a couple of funny nicknames: “Stan the Man” and “Stanimal”. The world no.4 has revealed that the last one was “invented” by Roger.
Wawrinka. When Federer called me Stanimal
Stan commented, “My favorite nickname? ‘Stanimal’ makes me. It conveys the aggressive dimension of my game; I put the physical into everything that I do, knowing that I can go the distance in long matches.
It’s Roger Federer who first came up with it on Twitter during the Australian Open in 2014. Sometimes he calls me that.”
