Stan Wawrinka is sick of answering questions about Roger Federer.

Even though Wawrinka is fighting to complete a career grand slam at this year's Championships, the Swiss tennis player still has to share his moment in the spotlight with his compatriot.

Throughout his career Wawrinka has always had to put up with journalists asking him questions about Federer rather than his own game, and it would appear he has finally had enough.

On a Saturday press conference before the start of Wimbledon, Wawrinka, the world’s number 3, bristled after reporters swayed their attention away from the 32-year-old Swiss and excessively sought admiration for Federer’s performance this season.

Federer impressively beat Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open in January, and dominated tournament in Halle earlier in June; spawning waves of praises for the miraculous renaissance of form of the 35-year-old player. Naturally, Wawrinka admitted he fully respected the accolades of his Davis Cup team-mate.

“A player like Roger, as long as he's playing, you know, he's going to have a chance to win a Grand Slam. The day will stop playing, that's when you will have no chance to win anyway,” he said.

“If you look, he's doing something amazing.”

Wawrinka, the winner of three grand slam titles in his career, could find some kind words even about the defeat Federer inflicted upon him in Melbourne earlier this year.

“I was really happy and amazing for him. For sure, I lost against him in semi-final, so I know the way he was playing. He was playing really well. I knew he had the chance to win the title.”

But as the questions about the undeniably one of the greatest tennis players in the history kept coming, Wawrinka lost his temper and eventually cut the conversation.“We can talk more about Roger, if you want, but I'm a bit tired. It's been 10 years you ask me questions about Roger.”

Federer and Wawrinka have a history of altercations in the past, with the ‘heckling’ incident involving Federer’s wife, Mirka, during the ATP Finals back in 2014 being the most famous one.

Although the two players now get on well together, Wawrinka definitely would love to be paid more attention on his own press conferences, as the Swiss player will faces achieving the career Grand Slam should he win The Championships this year.
