Juan Martin Del Potro has had to endure a painful period off late

Juan Martin Del Potro has had to endure a painful period off late and he is still not in peace.

His career has taken a real pounding since the time he sustained a wrist injury and now, there are suspicions that he might not be able to fully recover from it ever.

He has been in touch with his doctor and if the reports coming from the close sources have any authenticity, then, the Argentina native has been advised to have another surgery on the damaged wrist.

Having already had surgery a couple of times, Del Potro is a bit reluctant to go under the knife again without any guarantee.

His situation at the current moment is not said to be good at all.

Recently, one of his close friends was quoted as saying, “Juan has not trained for some time. It’s almost impossible for him to train. He desperately wants to be back playing, but, unfortunately, he has not been able to do so. He has travelled to America quite a few times to have meetings with the doctor. He is only 26 at the moment and he does not want the road to end for him at this stage, but, at some point of time, he is bound to get tired.”

Del Potro has played just one tournament this year i.e. the Apia International Sydney Tennis Tournament.

He was scheduled to play in the Australian Open as well after that, but, his wrist started troubling him again and he pulled himself out.

Since then, he has not been in the scenes.

He is currently at the 562^nd position in the singles world rankings which is totally understandable with the number of matches that he has missed in the last two years.
