Wawrinka defies gravity at the pool

Even the Swiss' relaxation style is extreme.

Published Dec 05, 2016

Stan Wawrinka wins Grand Slams with style, doing things differently than anyone else with his deadly one-handed backhand, famous Yonex checkered Roland Garros-winning shorts, and late-blooming career path. He also vacations with a style all his own, capturing a perfect Kodak moment mid-air while at the pool in hot pink swim trunks.

Wawrinka has simple advice: "eyes on the ball" and "keep life fun." It seems to be working for the word No. 4.

The 31-year-old will be seeking a fourth major title in 2017, perhaps a Wimbledon crown to round out a carer Grand Slam.
