Stan Wawrinka is set to miss more time after undergoing a second left foot surgery. The Swiss star, a three-time Grand Slam champion, announced the news on his social media channels on Monday.

Wawrinka, a former World No.3, has not competed since Doha in March. On March 25th he announce that he had undergone a first surgery on the foot.

Currently ranked 30, Wawrinka owns a 3-3 record thus far in 2021.


It’s not the first time the legendary Swiss has gone under the knife. In 2017 he called his season early and did two surgeries on his left knee.

“The first surgery was arthroscopy to have a look at the problem and the second one was to reconstruct the cartilage,” Wawrinka said, according to ATPWorldTour.com. “It was very difficult and tough, a big surgery. I needed crutches for eight weeks and lost a lot of muscles because of that.”
