‘Not where I want to be’ – Stan Wawrinka posts injury update from hospital bed


Stan Wawrinka has posted an injury update from hospital as he continues to recover from foot surgery.

The three-time Grand Slam winner has endured a torrid time with injuries since injuring his knee at Wimbledon in 2017, and he is currently on the sidelines again.

This current spell is due to a foot injury, with him not playing a match since losing to Lloyd Harris in Qatar in March.

The injury required surgery, and it seems he is still struggling to overcome it.

“Same place, different day,” Warwinka said on Instagram to caption a video of him in a hospital bed.

“Not where I want to be but still a smile on my face. I will be back.

Wawrinka, who last won a Slam in 2016 at the US Open, has not yet placed a date on his return, although it seems likely that Flushing Meadows in August will be featuring prominently in his mind.
