Juan Martin del Potro is the only player to have won a Grand Slam title other than The Big Three- Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer between the French Open 2005 and Wimbledon 2012. This is a span that constitutes 30 tournaments. This was also the time when The Big Three dominated the world of male tennis.

He won his first and only Grand Slam title of his career- the US Open in 2009. This victory is also remembered by many as he defeated the 2009 Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal and defending champion Roger Federer in the final to claim the title.

The Argentine professional was also instrumental in helping his country to win the Davis Cup title in 2016. He won the Bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympic Games and the Silver medal in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.

Even though he had a successful career, it is also marred by injuries. He had to miss out on many important tournaments and even full seasons due to injuries. This took a massive hit on his ATP rankings.

He made his comeback in the 2022 Argentina Open. However, he was knocked out of the tournament in the first round itself. This led to speculations about his possible retirement. Since then he has not played a single professional match.

However, his fans are hoping that Juan Martin del Potro will make a comeback to the sport. After reading his social media posts, many are reacting. Here are a few reactions.

“I go crazy. I love you worldwide,” the caption read in English. (Translated through Google Translate).

Will Juan Martin del Potro decide to return to professional tennis? We do not know. However, it will be a great sight to have the veteran compete again in a Grand Slam.
