In the world tennis world these two days, I believe that the front page headlines are given to the same person. That's right, he was the former Grand Slam champion Del Potro who announced his retirement at his hometown tournament in Buenos Aires.
Coincidentally, in the previous game, Del Potro was a supporting role in the farewell match, how to say?
At the 2009 Paris Masters, The Russian generation of tyrants Safin returned to the field, and the opponent was Del Potro. In the arena where the Russian had stood on the top podium several times, he announced the end of his career.
In addition, at the 2012 U.S. Open, Del Potro became a participant in the last match of Roddick's career, who won only one US Open title.
But at that time, the retirement of these two predecessors was different, and Safine had long been ready to say goodbye, but chose the end of the season, which was also a stage where he had once been famous; Roddick realized his original bold words, and after the end of the year, he felt that he no longer had top competitiveness, so he chose to retire.
A closer look at the careers of these two men: Safin has had two Grand Slam titles and is still remembered by fans, and Roddick has won too many Grand Slam runners-up, but the world number one and many Masters champions may bring him a little comfort.
However, del Potro's tennis career seems to have too much to be unwilling about. In his early twenties, he ended Federer's five-game streak at Flushing, New York.
Arthur Ashe stadium witnessed this newborn calf, even Feiner became a good story, thunder and forehand a blockbuster, but then his history of struggle is also a story of uncompromising fight against injury.
It's not that he's not without a return to the top, and after a series of major injuries, almost a decade apart, he's in the spotlight again!
In 2018, he thought that he won the Masters championship and the runner-up of the Grand Slam, and he could once again enter the glory years of confrontation with the Big Three, but who knew that at the Shanghai Masters after spending his 30th birthday, in front of the thousands of Chinese fans who smiled and called him "Master Brother", a seemingly ordinary injury when facing Croatian Ciurić turned out to be a major turning point in his tennis career.
The Queen's Cup in 2019 became the last straw that crushed the camel. Del Potro has struggled with injuries for more than two years after playing the tournament.
"Let go of your worries, and please cherish more tonight." When we see each other again, we are afraid that we will see each other in a hurry." Bless Master Brother! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
