Del Potro returns to the court: “I’m going to be at the US Open”

Juan Martín Del Potro is considered one of the best Argentine tennis players in history and, despite the fact that in February 2022 he confirmed his retirement from professional activity, this Saturday he again showed his desire to play the next US Open in New York. Where he is training with a renowned physical trainer named Duglas Cordero, the tandilense launched a forceful phrase: “I’m going to be at the US Open.” It should be noted that the Argentine, recognized as “The tower of Tandil”, at 34 years old, promised that he would return to participate in the last Grand Slam of the season if the Argentine National Team stayed with the World Cup in Qatar 2022. Even after the consecration, the tennis player said: “Now Lionel Messi and the team put me to train.” In order to participate in the championship he won in 2009 after winning the final over Roger Federer, Del Potro will need a wildcard (special invitation) from the tournament organization, because he has not been ranked since his last match as a professional. Throughout his career, he managed to be number 3 in the world in 2018, won 22 titles on the ATP circuit, the Davis Cup and was a bronze medalist at the London 2012 Games and Silver at the Rio 2016 Games.
