Stan Wawrinka underwent his second left foot surgery of the year, his management confirmed on Monday.

The former World No. 3 posted a video on Instagram in which he panned from his healthy right leg to his left leg, with his left foot in a cast. The Swiss star then reversed the camera to himself and shrugged.

“Same place, different day,” Wawrinka wrote. “Not where I wanted to be, but still a smile on my face.”


Wawrinka last competed in Doha in March. The 36-year-old has played four tournaments in 2021, tallying a 3-3 record. He underwent his first left foot surgery in March and also had two left knee surgeries before in August 2017.
