The Social Slice: Wawrinka signals his return with vicious backhand

Every week, dozens of tennis players from around the world post on their social media. From funny videos to training updates, there are simply too many accounts to keep track of. That's why we do the work for you by selecting the best posts from across the world of tennis.

Welcome to the Social Slice:

Stan Wawrinka

Stan the Man is officially back! Well, almost. The 3-time Grand Slam champion has not played an ATP match since March of 2021 at Doha. However, Wawrinka signaled his return to tennis on Twitter, announcing that he will in fact be back "soon."

A quick video of his signature backhand shows that the Man still has what it takes to compete.

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer

Only a few weeks after Nadal became the new Grand Slam men's leader, the Spaniard and Federer announced on Instagram their intention to play doubles together at the 2022 Laver Cup in London.

"You book the practice court? Or is it me?" Nadal joked with Federer on Twitter. "Looking forward to playing again with you my friend!"

Truly the best bromance in tennis, the pair previously competed together in the inaugural Laver Cup in 2017, defeating Sam Querrey and Jack Sock.

Daniil Medvedev

After losing in the final of the Australian Open, Medvedev is already moving on to a new sport. Well, not really, but he looks ready to go alongside famed Formula 1 racers Daniil Kvyat and Alex Albon.

The Russian spent the day driving go-karts with the racers and, frankly, we can't think of a better way to spend our time.

Emma Raducanu

The British player shared her recent trip to Singapore where she clearly made the most of her time. From walking down through the shops to getting some practice in to enjoying the nightlife, the US Open champion is living her best life. She recently lost in the second round of the Australian Open, but judging by these pictures, she has moved on.
