Who the h**l is...?

Question

Stanislas Wawrinka.

I noticed he's ranked number 9 in the world, but i have NO idea who he is. Maybe he doesn't get much coverage in the US or something? I was just wondering because I was on yahoo checking up on the scores from Wimbledon, and then I looked over to see the top ten men's and women's players, and his name literally left me questioning myself--- where have I been!!!? haha

Answer 1

Your guess is as good as mine.  Try Wikipedia and type in his name and hope you'll get some feedback....interesting!

Answer 2

Stanislav Wawrinka (born March 28, 1985 in Lausanne) is a Swiss male tennis player. As of May 2008, he is one of two Swiss players in the ATP top 10 (the other being world number one Roger Federer). His career high is #9, achieved on June 9, 2008. He has 9 singles titles and is climbing up the charts fast.

Answer 3

Who?  I thought he was killed in WW2 or maybe he was the original Santa Claus.

Never heard of him until I read your question lol

Answer 4

He has had some consistent results all year and some good results last year, but has yet to win any big tournaments that's why he is not very well known. He plays well on all surfaces but best on clay.

Answer 5

he is the swiss number two player......

Answer 6

LOL. I never knew he was in the top 10 until I read this question!!! I still dont know who he is!

Answer 7

Yeah like said before, he's Swiss.

In terms of playing style, I'd describe him as a pretty consistent baseliner, with a great looking one-handed backhand too..Not a big server or that much of a big hitter, but very solid and consistent
