Fedrinkaberg … Federer, Wawrinka, and Edberg Meet Up on the Practice Courts, with Special Guest, Shirtless Nicolas Mahut.

Midway through the Western and Southern Open, and midway through a Dimitrov/Janowicz match, we hopped over to the crowded Court 15 for a peek at Roger Federer’s practice and a meeting we hoped to capture on film for you all. Fed was just finishing up when we arrived, and having a chat with coach Stefan Edberg and practice partner Nicolas Mahut.

Then some other Swiss dude made his grand entrance…

Not sure what was up with Stan Wawrinka this week, but I saw two practices where he arrived without a bag, just holding all his racquets and other supplies in his arms. Surely this can’t be an easier way to travel to and from the practice courts.

Be sure to *CLICK* on the pics for bigger versions, you’ll see the facial expressions better that way.

Stan greets Roger and Stefan…

There may have been some friendly razzing banter…we’d like to think that Rog asked Stanley where his “Stan the Man” shirt was…heh…

Let us stop and be amused in the next picture by Rog’s crazy hat hair…

Rog himself is amused as he wipes his face on his sleeve… #SuchADude

And Stan still seems to be enjoying the jokes as he wanders over to drop off his pile of stuff…

Rog shares a few more laughs with Stefan…

And then the two share a quiet moment as Stefan checks his phone…

Meanwhile, Stan is depriving everyone of a nice view by keeping his back to the wall as he arranges stuff on the ground. #WhereIsYourBagStan

While we were distracted, Rog somehow manged to get his curls mostly back in order…

Stan comes back over to see what’s going on. Rog is checking for a clean spot on his shirt to wipe his face in. Again.

Then…

Stefan does seem a bit bemused by Stan and his stretching…

And now Stan is bouncing while listening in on the chat amongst the others…

And doing side bends with his racquet…

Stan wanders back and forth…

Stan’s back to chat with Fed, now doing squats…or something…

Rog stares at him…then…

And that is all, dear friends. Stan put all that stretching to good use on the practice courts with Nico, and Federer and his team headed off to their next appointment.
