Juan Martin Del Potro Will Decide Soon If He’ll Defend His Basel Title

Wow….the big man is looking really handsome n cool in that hair style. :)

Come back soon gentle giant….come show us those monstrous forehands, pleeeeeease :))

Btw, I feel thr shud be a poll on whether delpo will stick to his laser forehands, once back on tour….or will he tone it down to extend his career..

My vote: he will blow away his opponents with his bazookas ;)

He better change it up a little bit, or he’ll be back where he started. I commented before his wrist issue how hard he hit the ball and thought to myself how does he keep from injuring himself…..Well he didn’t. Take care big guy, tennis need you!! I hope he can get it back……Love to watch this guy play….and such a shame about his wrist, he’s been out a long time.

Del Potro already announced today that he will not play for the rest of 2014 and will focus on 2015:

Despite the positive recovery of my wrist and the progress in my overall physical condition, I have decided not to take part in the end-of-year European tournaments.
I´m currently not at the 100% capacity required to confront this challenges. I intend to take a more patient approach to this preparation phase and focus on a sound 2015 return.
Your constant support, good wishes and caring have been and will continue to be of the upmost importance along this journey. I am deeply thankful and I believe that during next year I´ll be able to repay you, doing what I do best.

Thanks for posting this. He was once a great talent, and I hope he manages to pick up where he left off. He is a fun guy to watch…… so sorry for him. He’s been out of action way too long. Good luck to the gentle giant!
