Juan Martin Del Potro the argentinian tennis star has come out to announce his retirement from tennis which will be happening soon. He is trying to come back and play for one last time at his previous level, however his injuries have taken a big toll on his body throughout his career.
“It might not be like that and maybe it’s more of a farewell than a comeback,” he said of his planned tournament play.
“The knee has me living a nightmare,” he said at a news conference. “For many years I have been trying alternatives and treatments and doctors and different ways to solve it.”
But, he said, “I have not been able to do it.”
With many wrist and knee injuries throughout his career, Del Potro looks to end his career and take a big break from tennis as he looks to explore other fields perhaps.
The Argentinian’s highlight of his career was definitely beating the legendary Roger Federer to win his maiden and only Grand Slam in New York as he won the 2009 US Open Tournament.
