RE: Breaking news: Juan Martin del Potro surgery will sideline him for rest of season

anyone seen the latest jmdp comeback video ?..del potro wafting his arms around underwater..

strange noise at 15/16 secs in, sounds like a massive fart (it isn't one though). umm, that's it.

Yes I watched that video with Del Potro underwater...

Positive thing that Del Potro is back practicing.He also practiced with Sabatini at Miami,not underwater of course...;)

Hope it's not too soon to come back and that he won't be obliged to stop again. His surgery isn't so far behind, hope he took the right decision

Looks like he has withdrawn from the event and the Big K gets the WC.

That is sad. It looks like we may already have seen his best play.

Like someone said, he was clapping too much during the Davis Cup.

Well seeing Del Potro wasnt going to play IW at all,I feel he is been sensible.
Hopefully he will be healthy to play at Miami.The guy has had enough injuries and surgeries now on both wrists.I have met and spoken with him personally at Apia International,Sydney,he is one of the nicest young men I have met,also he gave me soo much of his time.A Class Act!

Juan Martin del Potro, former U.S. Open Champion and World No. 4 has announced today that he will undergo surgery on his left wrist again. Here's his video announcing the surgery.

Good luck to del Potro to get completely well and come back stronger than ever.

Terrible news. Wondering if he'll ever come back to his old power.

I feel really really bad and sad for him. The guy is almost in tears. I am sure he must be so frustrated. I blame the stupid doctor who could not detect the issue in time

Hope he fires the Mayo Clinic doctors. They don't seem to know what is the issue or how to treat him properly. The funny thing is that it is a reputed clinic.

Just read it on tennis.com before here. Very sad. Poor guy's career was pretty much over before this but now it's almost a given. Terrible.
