Juan Martin del Potro is back! The former US Open champion is making a comeback on the court after more than two and a half years. The towering Argentine has been plagued with injuries throughout his illustrious career. However, the last few years have been the worst with knee and wrist injuries.

The 33-year-old last played at the Queen’s Club in London in 2019. He had to withdraw from that tournament in the second round after injuring his right knee. Since then, he has had two surgeries which have kept him out of action.
