Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka have a great relationship and the Maestro is a huge fan of his friend.

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.”
