After reaching a career-high, year-end ranking of No. 8 Stanislas Wawrinka says that he will continue to work with coach Magnus Norman. The former world No. 2 heads the Good to Great Academy based in Sweden.
"I have had one of the best years of my career and I feel that the relationship, trust and confidence I have built over the last 10 months with Magnus has obviously paid off gauging from my results to date,” Wawrinka said in a statement posted on the academy’s web site. “To me, Magnus is without question the right person to guide me through my career. And there is no question that I truly believe that he is able to help my game and in turn help me progress even further on the tour.”
Former Roland Garros finalist Norman added: "We had initially agreed to work on a trial basis but after seeing how well we work as a team it was only natural for me to commit long term. We have agreed that I will be on the road more than I have been in previous years and I very much look forward to the seasons ahead as I feel that with hard work and commitment Stan has the potential and ability to excel even further.”
