Del Potro, a fan favourite who has climbed as high as No. 3 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, has struggled with injuries throughout his career. The 32-year-old has had one right wrist surgery and three left wrist surgeries.
The ’Tower of Tandil’ last competed in 2019 at the cinch Championships. Del Potro is currently World No. 265.
Fans and players alike shared their support for the Argentine, including countryman Federico Delbonis, who made the fourth round at Roland Garros. Delbonis tweeted, “I’m going crazy, JM!!!!”
