At the same press conference, Delbonis also threw light on the present condition of Argentine tennis. The 31-year-old stated that the efforts being put in by his countrymen made him “super happy”, but also acknowledged that the tennis infrastructure in Argentina is limited.
The most famous Argentine, Juan Martin del Potro, will return to the court in Buenos Aires on Tuesday, after an injury layoff of more than two years. But at a press conference on Saturday, the former US Open champion broke down in tears and hinted that this is likely to be a farewell rather than a comeback.
Juan Martin del Potro was last seen in action at the 2019 Queen’s Club Championships
Juan Martin del Potro last featured in a professional match at the Queen’s Club Championships in 2019, where he suffered yet another knee injury. The former World No. 3 has undergone four knee surgeries since then, but is now finally ready to make a comeback on the court.
Del Potro’s career has been largely shadowed by injuries, a total of 14 serious ones so far. But this has been the longest time the Argentine player has been out of action, dropping him to the 753rd spot in the ATP rankings.
Juan Martin del Potro will square off against Federico Delbonis in the first round of the Buenos Aires Open 2022 on Tuesday, a tournament he has never triumphed at.
