Many tennis workers demonstrated asking to return to work on Sunday morning in front of the presidential residence of Olivos and Juan Martín Del Potro, one of the best tennis players in history, who is recovering from a knee operation, shared a video solidifying with the situation with whom they are unable to work.
Juan Martín Del Potro sympathizes with the tennis laburantes that tomorrow will march, peacefully, to the fifth of Olivos because for three months they can not work and have no income, like many others in the country.
But this is a tennis account.

In the video, viralized by several tennis teachers, the tennis player said: “I wanted to greet especially tennis professionals, the players, all the people who work around our sport, work in the clubs, the cancheros, the staff cleaning the changing rooms and everyone who works around us, to command them strength, which is a difficult time. I know you’re really looking forward to working, but you have to be patient.”
We ask to work, we know how to take care of ourselves and take care of you
In addition, the Olympic medalist at London 2012 and Rio 2016 was not the only one to join the cause, Diego Schwartzman, today’s best Argentine tennis player, added: “I wanted to send this message in support of all the coaches who are going to make that march in peace to ask for the activities to return. As many know, tennis still in the Capital and Province could not return. A decree was signed for athletes who were ranked to Tokyo to be able to, but the reality is that coaches and many people who live in tennis still can’t come back, I wanted to send them this message in support, I send them a big hug and hopefully they can soon get back to work.”
“A lot of people who live in tennis still can’t work,” Schwartzman

Near 11.30, the protesters, including teachers, students, cancheros, club administrators and institution maintenance and security personnel, gave a secretary of Alberto Fernández a petition and health security protocol made by the Argentine Tennis Association and with private members of the clubs. The official pledged to hand over it to the President of the Nation.
