Paris: former Olympic gold medal Medal Stan Wawrinka on Tuesday joined the list of increasingly interesting players from the Tokyo Olympics.
The three-time Grand Slam winner, Wawrinka, who won the Olympic degree in a double-doubled man beside Roger Federer in Beijing in 2008, had undergone surgery at his left leg.
The 36-year-old has not played on a tour since Doha in March.
“He was very disappointed not to be able to play in the game and represent Switzerland in Tokyo,” said a statement by his management team.
“But he worked hard on his recovery and headed for his goal back to the court as soon as possible.” Wawrinka joined Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Simona Halep and Dominic Thiem in withdrawing from the game starting in Tokyo on July 23.
