Those close to Rafael Nadal, who yesterday announced he would not be able to defend his US Open title when play begins at New York’s Flushing Meadows next Monday, maintain rest is all that’s required to get the world no.2 back on court and he does not require wrist surgery similar to Juan Martin del Potro and Laura Robson.
The surgeon who performed wrist surgery on world no.8 Juan Martin Del Potro yesterday in Minnesota discovered far greater damage to the joint than was expected but there are still hopes the Argentine could be back in action before the end of the year.
Common sense finally seems to have prevailed as world no.8 Juan Martin Del Potro has withdrawn from the Sony Open in Miami with an ongoing problem in his left wrist.
Twelve matches down. Ten to go? That's right; seven days into the BNP Paribas Open, Roger Federer and John Isner boast an incredible combined record of 12-0. They are both 6-0; 3-0 in singles and 3-0 in doubles.
Juan Martin Del Potro continues to be hopeful of his left wrist will allow him to play in the upcoming Sony Open in Miami after quitting mid-match in the recent Dubai Duty Free Championships and then withdrawing from the ongoing BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells after using a doubles match to gauge his fitness.
The same wrist problem that forced Juan Martin Del Potro to retire from a first-round match in Dubai has caused him to withdraw from the BNP Paribas Open
Is there some rule that says Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer can never be sound at the same time? Nadal, after a long bout of back problems, is back to defend his title at Indian Wells, but Ferrer -- who lost his opener last year -- will be unable to play; he is the top player missing.
In the first set of this, Roger Federer kept threatening Novak Djokovic and not quite getting the break. Things didn't look good. But he really does seem to be rediscovering his confidence. Or something...
World no.5 Juan Martin Del Potro faces a nervous 16 hours flight as he heads from the Middle East to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for an appointment with Dr. Richard Berger to ascertain the extent of the left wrist injury that forced him to retire from the Dubai Duty Free Championships after just one set.
Former grand slam finalist Marcos Baghdatis beat Miguel Angel Reyes of 6-2 6-4, American Donald Young put out Finn Jarkko Nieminen 6-3 6-3 and Rio finalist Alexandr Dolgopolov started with a defeat of eighth seed Vasek Pospisil 6-2, 6-2.
Juan Del Potro remains plagued by doubts about his game as he enters the Dubai event with lingering wrist pain and a fragile state of mind.
After Argentina fell to Italy 3-1 at home at the start of February and was forced into a World Group playoff, Argentine Tennis Federation chief Arturo Grimaldi said he was willing to sit down with his top player, Juan Martin Del Potro and try and work something out for the next tie...
Serena Williams is back in Dubai a year after pulling out at the last possible moment from the hard-court event. And the world No. 1 says that she hopes to make amends for that embarrassment by working to win the title at this edition for the first time.
After all the upsets we'd had to this point, this seems almost unnatural. A seed winning? What is the world coming to? What Tomas Berdych is coming to, or at least coming close to, is the #6 ranking. Win the title and it's his; indeed, he will be just bare points behind Juan Martin del Potro in the contest for #5. Ernests Gulbis will be #23 or #24.
We're still on Rotterdam time, FYI. Richard Krajicek is a great tournament director ! FYI Happy Valentines Day. It was here in a blink and gone. Hope all the lovers out there had a great day.
