| Del Potro |
Former world no. 3 and US Open champion, Juan Martin Del
Potro underwent a third knee surgery on Wednesday. He broke his right patella
in 2018 and refractured the knee cap in the Queen’s Club Championships in 2019.
He has undergone three surgeries on his left wrist and another to this right
but always fought his way back to fitness to return for a tournament.
“He is probably one of the most unfortunate tennis players I have
known with injuries,” Djokovic said after his quarter final tie in the Western
and Southern Open. He said he could relate to Del Potro’s issues, having
himself missed the last six months of the season in 2017 due to elbow injuries.

“His fighting spirit and resilience to come back is something
that is very inspiring to me and to everyone else. I know there is probably no
one that wants to play tennis more than him right now, and he is, I’m sure,
doing everything he possibly can,” the 17-time Grand Slam champion added.
