With great enthusiasm and willing to fight, this is how Juan Martín del Potro showed himself on his return to the forefront of the tennis world, as was his appearance at the US Open, invited to do a training session with John McEnroe and participate in a series of events.
The audience present gave him a standing ovation on the auxiliary court, where the 2009 champion had fun rallying with one of the legends of American tennis. Delpo joked with McEnroe but at times he also shook his arm with violence, showing that the talent is still valid.
“At first I was a bit nervous, because of my physique but also because of rallying with a legend like John but later I let go,” Juan Martín confided to José Luis Clerc, who served as a notary for ESPN.
“I decided to come to finish recharging energy, add good vibes and make this final stage of my recovery,” said Delpo. And he added hopefully: “Obviously next year I will come, not as a candidate as I have always come, but at least as a player and be the protagonist again“.
The man from Tandil, in full recovery from a severe injury to his right knee, which has dragged on since 2018 and forced him to undergo four surgeries, declared his desire to be back in full swing.
“It’s hard for me, at times it hurts, I limp a little … But I feel like tennis is waiting for me to give me a new chance“Delpo later commented on the Pollo Vignolo program, always on ESPN.
Then he advanced: “As I adapted after my wrist injury, I will do the same with my knee and I will continue playing, I am determined to do it and I have a lot of people behind me encouraging me to do it.”
“This was a year to be forgotten, my dad died, I was injured again … Today I am psyched to get ahead, recover and get back on the circuit, I hope that the next time we talk it will be without mentioning the knee, “Delpo said later.
Boca and Messi’s National Team
A fan of Xeneize, Juan Martín gave all his support to the team that Sebastián Battaglia now leads, and regretted the absence of an audience at La Bombonera. In addition, he dedicated an interesting comparison to Lionel Scaloni’s team. “I love seeing them like this, they are united, it shows that they all have a good vibe … And they took a backpack off them, it’s like when we won the Davis Cup, it was a thorn in the ground,” Del Potro closed.
