Juan Martin Del Potro announces likely retirement from tennis aged 33 in tearful statement

A heartbroken Juan Martin Del Potro has suggested he is due to retire from professional tennis.

The Argentine has suffered a plethora of injuries throughout his career that have kept him on the sidelines for lengthy periods.

The 33-year-old has undergone four right knee surgeries (June 2019, January 2020, August 2020 and March 2021) and has not played any competitive tennis since Queen’s Club in 2019, where he fractured his kneecap in the opening round against Karen Kachanov.
