DEL POTRO MISSES OUT

Juan Martin Del Potro will not make an appearance at Indian Wells this year. He hasn’t got completely recovered from that wrist injury because of which he had to be retired hurt from his match against the Indian player Somdev Devvarman at Dubai a couple of weeks back.

Del Potro played a competitive doubles match yesterday just to check if his wrist was in good condition or not. He went through a lot of pain during that match and thus, he took the decision that he would remain out of the BNP Paribas Open.

It appears to be the right call by the Argentinean. Risking that sort of injury so early in the season and having to be ruled out of maybe a Grand Slam would not have been good at all.

Announcing his withdrawal, Del Potro said, “You want to be completely fit going into a big tournament, but, unfortunately that’s not the case with me at the moment. The condition of my wrist is still almost the same. There is no reduction in pain which is a bit concerning.”

“It’s very important to care such sort of injuries and that is what I am looking to do. Thus, I have decided that I would not feature at Indian Wells this year. I am obviously gutted about that, but, you have to counter such phases in your career. That’s how it goes.”

Del Potro had performed brilliantly in the last edition of the BNP Paribas Open. He had reached all the way to the final where he had ended up being beaten by Rafael Nadal.

Had he participated this time around, he would definitely have been one of the favourites because his style suits the Indian Wells surface.

Del Potro is presently ranked 7^th in the world.

TOP PERSONALITY

Juan Martin Del Potro has been named as the best Argentinean sports personality of 2013. Some other big names including the Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi were in contention for that award as well, but, Del Potro left everyone behind and won the award.

The last season was absolutely fantastic for Del Potro. He played a total of 66 games in the season and managed to win 51. He lifted 4 singles trophies and finished the season as the 5^th ranked male player in the world.

Del Potro had the opportunity to win a Grand Slam too as he had qualified for the  semi finals in the Wimbledon Championship, but, he got defeated by the World no. 1 Novak Djokovic in a marathon match which went on for 5 sets.

Talking to the reporters after being given the award of best Argentinean sports personality, Del Potro said, “It’s really a proud moment for me. I played well throughout the last season and to be honest, I hadn’t expected that kind of performance from myself.”

“I am high on confidence at this point of time. I ended the last season at a good position in the world rankings and I have already started preparing for the next season. Hopefully, I do well in the next season too.”

Messi was also a strong contender to win this award as the first half of the ongoing year was terrific for him. He had scored many goals for Barcelona, but, of late, he has spend a lot of time on the sidelines because of injuries and hasn’t featured for Barcelona often enough. That was probably the reason he missed out. He is supposed to be back playing for his club at the start of next year.
