Argentine tennis player Juan Martin del Potro has been out of action for a considerable while. The big man has been troubled by injuries quite often in his career. However, there has been a positive update with the former Grand Slam champion.

The 33-year-old player spoke about him aiming to make a comeback again early during the next season. It looks doubtful that del Potro would compete in Australia. He mentioned coming back to Buenos Aires and Rio as his initial events to compete in.

The 2009 US Open champion stated, “I’ve been training really hard, some days are better than others but always with the hope of coming back to compete early next year. It would be very special to come back to Buenos Aires and then play in Rio. As you can imagine, I’m giving my all every day so we can meet again very soon. I’ll keep you all updated with my progress. Take care.”

Juan Martin del Potro has not played for a couple of seasons

Coming to tennis, del Potro has been out of action since the French Open 2019. He went as far as the fourth round. Since then, he has been on the sidelines due to a knee injury. Moreover, he has missed the last 10 Grand Slam events. 

Prior to 2019, Juan had a remarkable 2018 season. During that year, he reached the semifinal at the French Open. After that, he made it to the second week of the Wimbledon Championships, reaching the quarterfinal. 

He ended the year on a high note, being the finalist at the US Open. In the final, he went down to World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. Well, now with this latest update, one cannot wait to see the big Argentine star compete against the top players in the game. All eyes will be on him when he steps on the courts.
