Juan Martin del Potro

Argentinian Juan Martín del Potro is a former professional tennis player renowned for his powerful forehand, towering presence, and resilience in the face of adversity. His biggest on-court achievement was winning the 2009 US Open, defeating Rafael Nadal in the semifinal and five-time defending champion Roger Federer in the final. He was the first to defeat both Federer and Nadal during the same major and was the only man outside of the Big Four to win a major between the 2005 French Open and the 2013 US Open, a span of 35 tournaments. He is also the second Argentine and the fifth-youngest man to win the US Open in the Open Era.

Other career highlights include reaching the 2018 US Open final, winning the bronze medal in men's singles at the 2012 London Olympics, the silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Indian Wells Masters in 2018, and being part of his country's successful Davis Cup team. Unfortunately, his career was also hampered by a succession of wrist injuries that required multiple surgeries and extended periods away from the tour.

Del Potro turned professional in 2005 and quickly made a name for himself with his aggressive baseline play and formidable serve. He achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 3 in August 2018. The man known affectionately as "Delpo" amassed 22 singles titles before announcing his retirement in February 2022.
