DEL POTRO’S PHYSICAL PROBLEMS PREVENTED HIM FROM PLAYING AGAIN / WEB
The illusion of seeing Juan Martín de Del Potro again on the central court of the US Open could not come true. In short, the physicist denied it. The man from Tandil officially announced that he will not be in the United States Grand Slam due to his personal problems, which harassed him throughout his career.
In a heartfelt letter published on his official Twitter account, Del Potro explained in detail the reason for his absence in the fourth and last Grand Slam of the season. “My desire to return to a court as special as the US Open had me very excited. I tried by all means to reach the term, but my body does not accompany me 100 percent to feel comfortable and happy to share, once again with you, a unique moment, “began the letter from Tandil.
“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 the quality of life. I thank you for the company, the understanding and the messages of encouragement that you leave me. I send you a big hug. I hope to see you soon,” the brief statement concluded.
In this way, Delpo did not close the doors to a possible “last dance”. It is that the benchmark of Argentine tennis had made a promise when the national soccer team achieved consecration in Qatar and celebrated the world championship with a promise: “If Argentina wins the World Cup, I will play again.”
Although his maximum intention was to face the commitment that he was able to conquer in 2009, his physical discomfort prevented him from doing so. The tournament will be played from the 28th of the current month until the 10th of September. And fans will mourn Delpo’s absence. “The Last Dance” will have to wait. It is that in one of his last interviews, the man from Tandil had assured that he still has not locked and padlocked the door of the tennis court. “It is an internal desire to step on the court for the last time, but my physique sends me messages that are not compatible with that desire,” he recently explained at a press conference as part of the launch of a campaign called Open for Us.
The 2009 US Open champion injured his knee in June 2019 and despite his repeated attempts (and surgeries through) he never recovered, his last appearance on the circuit being in February 2021 when he lost in the initial round of the Argentina Open with Federico Delbonis.
