Stanislas Wawrinka Parents
Stan was born in Switzerland to a Swiss mother and a German father and therefore has dual Swiss-German citizenship. Wolfram Wawrinka, his father, is a farmer and social worker of Czech heritage. His mother, Isabelle Wawrinka, is a teacher. As a biodynamic farmer, she also assists persons with disabilities. Later, the couple purchased “Ferme du Château,” a farm near Lausanne that had previously been managed by Wolfram’s parents.
They also cared for mentally ill individuals, allowing them to live outside of institutions and work on the family farm. Stan was reared on a farm by parents who never enjoyed sports, yet he was never deterred from pursuing his ambition of being a professional tennis player. Stan and his brother would go to the local tennis club and play tennis. Furthermore, the professional tennis player recognizes his parents’ efforts to provide for him and his brothers.
Stanislas Wawrinka Siblings
Tennis is in the Wawrinka siblings’ blood. Stan has three siblings, all of whom have played professional tennis at some time in their lives. Jonathan, his older brother, is also a former professional tennis player with a rating of 948. In 2020, he will create the Wawrinka Academy to help emerging talents achieve their dreams. John, who is three years older than Stan, used to play together as a youngster, but they no longer spoke to one other. Similarly, Naélla Wawrinka, his younger sister, was a right-handed tennis player who competed in women’s singles from 2009 to 2010.
Djanaée Wawrinka, his other sister, is a former tennis player who has been the Head of Communication at EPFL since 2019. Despite their departure from the professional tennis scene, the Wawrinka sisters have been vocal in their support for their brother, who is thriving in his career.
