Del Potro, who has been away from the tennis arena for a long time, has accepted a wild card for next week's Argentine Open at ATP250 Buenos Aires and the ATP500 Rio Open on February 14. This will be his first return to the field after the 2019 Queen's Cup grass game in London!
The last time Del Potro played at the Argentine Open was in 2006. At the age of 17, he lost to former world number one Ferrero. He also has fond memories in Rio – he won a valuable silver medal for Argentina at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
In June 2019, at the Queen's Cup, Del Potro accidentally sprained his right knee, followed by right knee surgery and reimbursement for the season;
In January 2020, he underwent a second right knee surgery;
In August 2020, he underwent a third surgery on his right knee;
In December 2020, he underwent bone marrow puncture surgery;
In March 2021, I underwent knee surgery...
He announced that he was determined to make a comeback and uttered this chicken soup text:
“Life is like the Ocean.Waves will try to knock you down and push you back to where you started but once you fight them,the entire ocean is YOURS.” (Life is like an ocean, the wind and waves will knock you down and push you back to where you are, but as long as you are determined to fight it to the end, the whole ocean belongs to you.) ）
The more frustrated the Argentines, the more courageous they are, and it is touching. Fans are looking forward to his comeback. Watching him carry a big red backpack to the stadium and train hard for the effort, people can't help but feel a lot of emotions.
What is even more emotional is that he is now in debt and has to come back to play to make money to pay off his debts!
The veterinarian-turned-old father had been in charge of his son's finances during his lifetime, and del Potro had less than 10% of all his income, and the rest was left to the old father for safekeeping, who knew that his father had failed in various failed investments, such as blindly renting 9,000 hectares of land and a lot of equipment to grow soybeans, but he knew nothing about the industry. Over the years, the losses caused by the old father reached $30 million! After his death, these bad debts slowly came to light, and it was not until the creditors came to the door that Del Potro realized that his financial situation had collapsed.
How desperate he was at that time, how sad he was in his heart, but he never made this matter public, but only shared his positive energy quotes, and I have to say that he was very resilient.
What to do? Del Potro, who is getting fat, can only train hard and make a comeback as soon as possible to earn money to pay off debts. That's the core reason why he decided to make a comeback again.
The Argentine, who has come to the third place in the world and won the US Open and the Indian Wells Masters, although he is 34 years old, he has a thunderous forehand, and I hope he will return soon and return to the top soon!
PS: I thought that del Potro's comeback was the return of the teenager, because there must be a teenager with a dream in his heart, so I chose del Podro, who celebrated himself in the 2009 US Open to win a point, I hope you like it.
