'Our era is fortunate to have Roger Federer, Nadal, Djokovic', says former Top 10

The 2020 season has not ended for a month, but already among fans, fans, organizers and professionals, there is a desire to return to the fields. After an incomplete season, in which very little has been played, there is the desire and the need to restart and put the last months behind us. Not only for an economic issue, but also and above all for a mental factor. Getting rid of this pandemic is the greatest wish we all make. Another reason why we want to return to play is linked to the possible return of Roger Federer, who after the knee surgery, missed the entire season, promising to return for the next Australian Open. Stan Wawrinka recently talked about his equation with Roger Federer, and how they share a very strong bond. Wawrinka also mentioned he trains frequently with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, both of whom he gets along well with.

Wawrinka on his equation with Roger Federer

"Personally, I get along very well with Novak Djokovic, we often train together," Stan Wawrinka said. "Same (with Rafa), I often train with him. His 13 victories at Roland Garros constitute one of the greatest achievements in the history of sport. With Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, the Big 3, our era is fortunate to have three extraordinary champions at the same time," he added. Currently ranked No. 18 in the world, Wawrinka revealed is unsure about who he will remain in touch with after retiring from the circuit. "I will be able to answer this when I have retired," the Swiss said. "With whom I will remain linked, I don't know. In tennis, we live in a bubble. All over the world, we end up with the same people. With some, I'm friends, with others not at all." The 20 times Grand Slam winner is coming back to tennis after having two surgeries on his knee. Despite age, injury, and conditions being against him, Federer is excited as always to reclaim the tennis court. But as the ATP calendar is not yet confirmed, they started their training on a first things first basis. “We will discuss the schedule when there is enough news. It is difficult to do it now without fixed points. We are moving forward trying to prepare for a normal year. From December 14, we will be in Dubai to train, and then, who knows,” said Ljubicic. His return in Melbourne Park will clock a complete year off from tennis for the Swiss maestro. He withdrew from the entire 2020 season after the Australian Open on account of his knee injury. Now, Roger will fly strictly between January 15 and  16 to play the first Grand Slam of 2021.
