This summer, Juan Martin delPotro became the fourth Grand Slam champion at the Queen’s Club to join in the Aegon Championships.
Thus he joins the likes of Andy Murray, the current World No 1, Rafael Nadal, 14-time Grand Slam title winner and the reigning US Open Champion Stan Wawrinka at the Club.
The Argentine who in 2009, defeated Roger Federer in five sets to win the US Open at Flushing Meadows stated that he was happy to be back in the Championships.
He said; “”I am so happy to be coming back to the Aegon Championships at Queen’s Club. It is a great event, to me a very traditional moment of the calendar, such a nice place to play in front of fans that have always been nice to me.”
He also went on to mention some of his memories there such as in 2013 where he got to the semi-finals at Wimbledon, winning the bronze Medal in 2012 at the Olympics held in London, and last year in Scotland where he participated in the Davis Cup. Read more »
Juan Martin Del Potro has had to endure a painful period off late and he is still not in peace.
His career has taken a real pounding since the time he sustained a wrist injury and now, there are suspicions that he might not be able to fully recover from it ever.
He has been in touch with his doctor and if the reports coming from the close sources have any authenticity, then, the Argentina native has been advised to have another surgery on the damaged wrist.
Having already had surgery a couple of times, Del Potro is a bit reluctant to go under the knife again without any guarantee.
His situation at the current moment is not said to be good at all.
Recently, one of his close friends was quoted as saying, “Juan has not trained for some time. It’s almost impossible for him to train. He desperately wants to be back playing, but, unfortunately, he has not been able to do so. He has travelled to America quite a few times to have meetings with the doctor. He is only 26 at the moment and he does not want the road to end for him at this stage, but, at some point of time, he is bound to get tired.”
Del Potro has played just one tournament this year i.e. the Apia International Sydney Tennis Tournament. Read more »
