RE: Breaking news: Juan Martin del Potro surgery will sideline him for rest of season
Dr. Isabelle: I know you like to be the first with news about all of the injuries to players. It's a quirk of yours, and one of the reasons we like you. But you have to distinguish between a reliable source and one that's not. tennisworlditalia.com, which I follow, is about the same level of news source that Tennis Frontier is, which is to say, that we cull from other news sources. (Though at least we cite sources, or mention if something is just "rumor.") There is no "primary" source (meaning a reputable one) to say that Del Potro is having another surgery. It doesn't matter that it has been 'translated around the world,' which is completely facile. It's still at the level of gossip, and I, for one, hope it's not true. It would have helpful if you had cited the source, originally, so that we could have known that is was of questionable provenance.

Yes it's this article that says that Delpo could have another surgery, it has already been translated in all languages of the world...all tennis forums talk about it (menstennisforums.com for ex). Delpo's camp hasn't confirmed yet, hope it's not true but you can't say it's a gossip (unfortunately)
tennisworlditalia.com has already given some true infos, it's NOT a gossip website if not I would have ignored it. Just wait and see if info is confirmed or not, I miss Juan a lot and I worry about the future
