Magnus Norman is the key to Stan Wawrinka’s grand slam success

Stanislas Wawrinka is that rare sporting beast: a champion with an ego disproportionate to his talent. Who could not warm to a man who moments after beating the best tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic, brings his much derided plaid shorts to the winner’s press conference, drapes them over the desk in front of him, and says: “It will be in the museum of Roland Garros. You will see my shorts every day if you want. Everybody talks about the shorts. I quite like them. Apparently I’m the only one.”

Well, perhaps Magnus Norman likes them too.
