There was no longer much doubt. While he announced in March that he wanted to play the next US Open (August 28 – September 10), Juan Martin Del Potro officially put an end to this hope. In a statement posted on his social media, the 34-year-old Argentinian said he was not in top physical shape to show up on court at Flushing Meadows.
“I did my best to get there, but my body is not 100%”
“My desire to return to such a special ground as the US Open made me very excited. I did my best to get there, but my body is not 100% to allow me to feel comfortable and happy to share, once again, a unique moment with you. The pain I feel does not allow me to devote myself to a comeback. I will continue to seek the best alternatives to regain my quality of life. »
