“I get up and take six or seven pills, an anti‐inflammatory, a painkiller and another for anxiety”recently admitted Juan Martin Del Potro who nevertheless fought to appear on the court one last time and say goodbye to Tennis almost three years after his last match on the circuit.
The winner of the 2009 US Open was able to say goodbye to his audience during an exhibition game last night in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a full stadium, facing an opponent as legendary as he was generous in the person of Novak Djokovic.
Classy, like his attitude on match point, the man with 24 Grand Slam titles allowed the Argentinian to have fun and thrill his audience with his famous “hammer” forehand.
The “Tower of Tandil” then shed a few tears in Nole’s arms before kissing the net one last time.
Moving.
