Juan Martin del Potro resigned today his return to tennismore specifically to US Openfor health reasons that did not allow him to arrive in optimal physical condition.
“As you know, I was very excited about my desire to return to a court as special as the US Open. I tried by all means to finish, but my body is not 100% with me, so I can feel comfortable and happy. to share, once again with you, a unique moment”Del Potro said in a message posted on his social networks.
“They also know that the pain I feel does not allow me to focus on a comeback yet. I will continue looking for the best alternatives to recover my quality of life”added the 2009 US Open champion tennis player.
“I thank you for the company, the understanding and the messages of encouragement that you leave me,” said Del Potro.
The organization of the fourth and last Grand Slam of the year handed out invitations, but the man from Tandil was left out due to his physical condition.
Del Potro, 34, is considered one of the best rackets in the history of Argentine tennis. His best ATP ranking was achieved with third place in August 2018, he became champion with the Davis Cup team (2016) and also won the silver medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.
However, a series of injuries conditioned his career in recent years. Between 2013 and 2015 he underwent surgery four times on his left wrist and in 2018 he suffered a fractured right patella, an injury that he was never able to overcome despite the operations.
In February 2022 he returned to a court, to the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club, to participate in the Argentina Open. Visibly deteriorated by knee problems, he lost to Federico Delbonis and opened an impasse in his career.
