Juan Martin del Potro wrócił na korty.

W 1 rundzie turnieju w Bangkoku przegrał z Olivierem Rochusem 67 (7) 46. Nie było źle jak na pierwszy mecz po tak długim okresie absencji. Najważniejsze, że ze zdrowiem DelPo jest wszystko w porządku, stan swojego nadgarstka ocenił jako rewelacyjny. Trudno temu zaprzeczyć, 16 asów mówi za siebie. Liczę na powrót do formy i przede wszystkim brak kolejnych powikłań natury zdrowotnej.

ATP Bangkok: Nieudany powrót del Potro

Juan Martin del Potro (ATP 36) przegrał z Olivierem Rochusem (ATP 78) 6:7(7), 4:6 w I rundzie turnieju PTT Thailand Open rozgrywanego na kortach twardych w Bangkoku.Dla 22-letniego del Potro był to pierwszy mecz od czasu Australian Open, z którego w 1/8 finału wyeliminował go Chorwat Marin Čilić. Argentyńczyk przez osiem miesięcy pauzował z powodu kontuzji prawego nadgarstka. Przeszedł on operację 4 maja w Rochester, a w zeszłym miesiącu wycofał się w US Open, w którym nie mógł bronić tytułu. Argentyńczyk bardzo dobrze serwował (16 asów), ale górą był sprytniejszy filigranowy Belg, który w II secie wyszedł obronną ręką ze stanu 0:2. Rochus wygrał 16. mecz w sezonie, w lipcu w Newport osiągnął swój ósmy finał w ATP World Tour.

Del Potro Says Wrist Is 'Perfect'

Despite losing his comeback match Tuesday in Bangkok, Juan Martin del Potro is looking confidently to the remainder of the season after saying that his right wrist gave him no trouble in his 7-6(7), 6-4 loss to Belgian Olivier Rochus.

“The most important thing for today is my wrist – and it’s perfect. I hope to play five or six more tournaments between now and the end of the season,” said del Potro, who is scheduled to play the ATP World Tour 500 tournament next week in Tokyo.

“It was a great moment for me being with the fans on centre court playing a match again. I felt very happy. I lost today but I have good things to take for the future.”

Del Potro, once ranked as high as No. 4, now finds himself at No. 36 in the South African Airways 2010 ATP Rankings after missing the past eight months of the ATP World Tour season.  The PTT Thailand Open was his first tournament appearance since January’s Australian Open and since he underwent right wrist surgery on 4 May in the United States.

Encouraged by his comeback match, del Potro said that he hoped to return to the top of the game soon. “I need to work hard to get back into the Top 10. Of course I would love to be back there soon.”

The 22 year old was unlucky to run into a red-hot Rochus, who at 5’ 6”, is a full foot shorter than the Argentine.  “Of course he’s not playing his best tennis yet but it’s still an amazing victory for me,” said World No. 78 Rochus. “I can’t play much better than I did today.”

Del Potro struck 16 aces but offered up nine break point chances, dropping serve once in each set.

“I played a good match. I had my chances in the first-set tie-break and he played some great points. He served very good, which was important on this kind of surface.  I’m just happy to be back on the circuit and I hope I get better and better. He played very well today.”

Del Potro Withdraws from Shanghai

News out of Argentina is that Juan Martin Del Potro’s recent comeback is on hold, and fortunately not because of his wrist.

According to his management, Del Potro will sit out Shanghai and likely the remainder of the season to sort out other minor physical issues.

Being such a fragile giant physically, I was initially worried that maybe Delpo returned to quickly, and it looks like that’s what has happened. But better that than him re-injuring the wrist which his people maintain is perfectly “fine”.

If he was having other issues than this is a smart move. There’s no need to take a chance at the end of the season when you can get a full two months to train and recover for 2011.

Del Potro was 0-2 in his return with straight set losses to Olivier Rochus in Bangkok and Feliciano Lopez in Tokyo a few days ago.

David Nalbandian is also out of Shanghai which begins next week.

Juanowi odpiszą pod koniec sezonu 800 punktów za występ w turnieju Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.
Przy złym zbiegu okolicznośći może wylondować poza pierwszą setką.
W najgorszym wypadku(Juan nie wygra do końca sezonu meczu) czeka go pozycja około 253 miejsca.

Koniec sezonu dla del Potro.

JMDP Podobno nie wyjdzie już na kort w tym roku, mówi się o tym że następne dwa miesiące zamierza poświęcić na trening i odbudowę formy.

"I decided to close my season 2010 to train hard the next 2 months and begin 2011 in good shape."

"I return to my best and keep working hard to achieve this as soon as possible. Thank you very much everybody for being with me!"

WHAT AWAITS JUAN MARTIN IN 2011?


Juan Martin del Potro will be trying
to work back towards the Top 10 in 2011.

ATPWorldTour.com previews five storylines to watch during the 2011 season, beginning with Juan Martin del Potro's return.

Great things were expected for Juan Martin del Potro in 2010 after he became a Grand Slam champion at 20 years of age with his five-set triumph over five-time defending champion Roger Federer at the US Open. Finishing the 2009 season with a runner-up finish in his Barclays ATP World Tour Finals debut and a World No. 5 ranking, the youngster from Tandil looked poised to become the chief threat to the ATP’s big four of Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

But del Potro’s 2010 season proved largely anticlimatic. He entered the Australian Open with a wrist injury and lost in the fourth round, then withdrew from his next tournaments before opting to undergo surgery in May. He returned to the courts in late September in Bangkok, where he was encouraged despite his loss to Olivier Rochus – “The most important thing for today is my wrist, and it’s perfect,” he said afterwards – but curtailed his comeback attempt the following week after making another first-round exit in Tokyo.

“I have decided to end my 2010 season in order to train hard for two months and start 2011 in top shape,” he wrote on Twitter.

As he begins 2011, the 22 year old will be looking to see if he can recover the form that carried him into the Top 5 of the South African Airways ATP Rankings. Currently at No. 257 – his lowest ranking in more than five years – del Potro will be looking for his first match win in nearly a year when he launches his comeback in Australia.

The first couple months could provide a good indication of whether del Potro is fully recovered from his injury and can once again challenge the circuit’s best. In addition to the Australian Open, del Potro has already committed to a number of ATP World Tour 250 tournaments, including the Medibank International Sydney in the week prior to the year’s first major and the U.S. hard-court tournaments in February at San Jose and Delray Beach.

“I need to work hard to get back into the Top 10. Of course I would love to be back there soon,” said del Potro. The good news for the Argentine? He only has 180 points to defend in 2011. By winning his second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, del Potro could skyrocket into the Top 20.

Del Potro will be joined on the comeback trail by two other former Top 10 players, Tommy Haas and Fernando Gonzalez. The 32-year-old Haas, who reached a career-high No. 2 ranking in 2002, played in just four tournaments in 2010 before undergoing right hip surgery in late February. Former World No. 5 Gonzalez, 30, was sidelined three months in 2010 with a knee injury and was expected to be out of action another eight to nine months following right hip surgery in October.

Juan Martin del Potro, who stormed to prominence in 2009 with his US Open victory, is back in Australia looking to erase the memories of a disappointing season last year.

Having been unable to defend his major title in New York due to a wrist injury last year, the Argentine is thrilled to be back on the ATP World Tour, enjoying Sydney’s iconic harbour ahead of his Medibank International Sydney campaign.
