So the three-time grand slam champion has to cross the hurdle of the French Open that lays ahead. But the tennis star claims that he is not going to put pressure on himself and by the time of the tournament he would have improved his playing stance and form by then and keep moving forward.

” I know I will play much, much better by then. There is still a lot of time until the French Open. I will be on a different level there, both physically and playfully,” said Wawrinka after his loss.

We love the optimism that he shows after a match as it is very important for players to maintain their mental and physical health to continue on even if they have lost. By focusing on the next match, Wawrinka’s optimism and confidence that he will be prepared for the French Open is a clue for all other tennis players to follow his mentality. He’s also realistic as he knew that the loss was to be expected. He says,” I knew it would be difficult. On the whole, however, it was a positive one week for me.”

As fans, his personality and determination make them want to root for him and hope that his future matches and tournaments show him the best of the best results.
