Del Potro, Monfils And Goffin Withdraw From Indian Wells

Sorry about Goffin and Monflis,but there was never any cast iron certainty that Delpo would be competeing anyway,so not that surprised about his withdrawal,not that you can call it that when the guy aint played hardly this year?….

This doesn’t sound good for DelPo…..I’m sorry to say. His wrist is not healing. I don’t see how it would if he continues with the hard hitting. It will never be OK, imo. This is so sad for him. But in all reality, how will it be possible for him to change his playing style? Knocking the cover off the ball is what he does best. Hope something can help him, but atm it’s looking dismal.

What a shame. I would have liked to see all the players who withdrew out at IW.

I think I’ve jinxed David Goffin with injury woes. I put him in my year-end top 10 in the Tennis-X challenge based on his results at the end of last year. Since I did that, he’s been plagued by injury.

@RZ…….You better shape up. With friends like you, who needs enemies!! Lol. Kidding of course. I just hate it when injuries interfere with these players careers. It’s a real bummer!! :(

Hope we see Delpo helping field a strong DC squad against Novak and the Serbs. Will be a week after Wimbledon, Jul 7-9. I root for Nole and Zim and Viktor because I think those guys were robbed in 2013 by the Tipsarevic injury and the unfairly long suspension Troicki suffered.
Had Viktor or Janko been there, if would have been 50-50 in the Finals with the Czechs.

But at the same time, who hates Juan Martin? Anyone?? Argentina has never won DC, but they have been doing it since 1923 and have some great players over the years.
Yes, lots of talk about Andy and the Brits. How it’s been since 1936 for the UK to win DC…..but Argentina has waited longer for the dream.
And on paper, they could have a top team. Delpo, Monaco, Mayer maybe, Delbonis, a good doubles squad.

I wonder if theres any news on Rafa and Roger,or the Spanish and Swiss DC teams??

Um, you need to do a better job managing your news feed. The item about Federer withdrawing from Indian Wells is from 2010, yet it’s mixed in with all the current news!

I am happy that Tommy Haas and Jack Sock are returning and hope that they stay injury free. I am the least optimistic about Del Potro. I think that he needs to sit out at least another six months without hitting a ball. It kind of reminds me of Tommy Haas’ original shoulder injury in the early 2000s. He eventually was able to hit without pain after he sort of game up tennis for awhile and fell off the map. Del Potro might want to plan on a 2016 comeback.

@Aarontennis – I read a tweet yesterday that Tommy Haas has pulled out of IW. :-( I was looking forward to his return too.

Sad to think that we’ll never see again the del Potro that won the 2009 US Open or the del Potro that gave the top 3 guys a run for their money. I hope he had his wrists insured. I wonder if the top tennis guys have insurance against sports injuries. Anthony Kim (golf) stands to get more than $10M if he never plays professional golf again.

what comments are these. Delpo must stop hitting hard!

We know one thing and that is when he stops hitting as hard as hè does then he is finished as a toplevel professional player.
he will not make top 30 if he eases in his groundstrokes. Besides that his window is closing.
