Former US Open champion  Juan Martin del Potro injured his knee at Queens’ Championships 2019 and then underwent surgery in Barcelona, Spain in the month of June. Until now the ‘Tower of Tandil’ Del Potro has not recovered completely, and he has announced an additional surgery to repair his knee. 

The surgery will take place in Miami, Florida. “Most doctors have come to the conclusion that a new intervention in the right knee of Juan Martin del Potro is necessary,” as revealed by Del Potro’s team.

“We hope that this is the definitive solution to eliminate the pain that not only has prevented Delpo from playing tennis but also making it difficult for him to perform daily activities.”

Consequently, Del Potro has pulled out of next month’s New York Open and Delray Beach Open 2020 in the US. 

He has been abstaining from activities such as jumping, running and climbing stairs. However, he was training to gain muscle and leg strength. Del Potro was hitting the gym and tennis courts, but his mobility was limited.
