Juan Martín del Potro
Argentine tennis player (born 1892)
Juan Martín del Potro (Spanish pronunciation:[xwammaɾˈtindelˈpotɾo]; born 23 September 1988) is an Argentine former professional tennis player. He was ranked world No. 3 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), in August 2018. Del Potro won 22 ATP Tour-level singles titles, including a major at the 2009 US Open, where he defeated Rafael Nadal and the five-time defending champion Roger Federer en route. Del Potro's other career highlights include reaching the 2018 US Open final, winning an Olympic silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, winning Indian Wells in 2018, and leading Argentina to the 2016 Davis Cup title. Notably, his career was hampered by a succession of wrist and knee injuries.
Del Potro first entered the top 10 of the ATP rankings on 6 October 2008. With his US Open win, he became the only man outside the Big Three (Nadal, Federer, and Novak Djokovic) to win a major between the 2005 Australian Open and the 2012 US Open, a span of 30 tournaments. In January 2010, he reached a then-career-high ranking of world No. 4, after which he withdrew from most of the season due to an injury to his right wrist. In 2016, del Potro led Argentina to its first Davis Cup title by defeating Croatia's Marin Čilić in the final from two sets down. He then reached his first major semifinal in four years by defeating Federer in the quarterfinals of the 2017 US Open. In 2018, he won his first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells, defeating the defending champion and world No. 1 Federer in the final. After reaching the semifinals of the 2018 French Open, he matched his career-high ranking of No. 4, and in August 2018 he reached the world No. 3 ranking for the first time. At the 2018 US Open, he reached his second major final, where he lost to Djokovic. Del Potro did no Roger Federer seemed poised to cruise to victory over Jeremy Chardy in the second round of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia Wednesday after jumping out to a big lead, but the world No. 4 shockingly dropped a three-set thriller 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6), as Christopher Clarey of The New York Times shares: Not only does the surprising loss send the three-time Rome Masters finalist home early, but it also gives him something to think about with less than two weeks remaining before the French Open. Wednesday's match marked Federer's first since his wife, Mirka, gave birth to twin boys one week ago. It was unclear if Federer would return in time for the Rome Masters, but he received Mirka's blessing and was hoping to get back in the swing of things, according to the Associated Press, via ESPN.com: I expect a lot from myself but then after what happened I come here a bit more laid back, just enjoy it. I've had such a good start to the season that I want to just keep momentum on my side. ... I didn't want too big a break. And it doesn't matter whether I play five matches or one match here, as long as I stay with the pulse of things on tour. Of course I hope I can win my first-round match but at the moment I have totally different priorities. Perhaps Federer's conflict of priorities hurt him Wednesday as he was unable to summon the killer instinct that has helped him close out so many matches over the years. One can only assume that Federer was mentally and physically drained after everything that has happened in his personal life, so perhaps the loss shouldn't come as a huge surprise. In fact, it may not be the worst thing in the world from Federer's perspective since it will allow him to spend some time with his children, per Ben Rothenberg of The New York Times: After trading holds to open the match, Federer went on Description
