Juan Martin Del Potro might play his final match later today and the tributes have been coming in ever since he admitted to being close to retirement a few days ago.
One who wrote a really touching tribute to Del Potro is former tennis pro Alex Corretja who currently works as a tennis analyst for Eurosport. Corretja took to Instagram to write a tribute to Tower from Tandil saying:
“Your service impressed us, your forehand made us fall in love, your
charisma hooked us, and your heart conquered us! @delpotrojuan I wish you the best in whatever comes, tennis will
miss you very much, and as your interviewer on multiple occasions at
@eurosport, I will greatly miss entering a large centre court and not
finding you on the other side waiting for me with your simplicity and
sympathy!
“THANK YOU, DELPO.”
The post accompanied a slideshow of photos from various interviews Corretja did with Del Potro over the years.

- No more bullshit "Wildcards" to these two. Qualify like everyone else -- there will be cameras there, too. Time to scream... WTF ????!!!!
mandoist29-09-2026 - Let's not BS the general public -- Sabalenka started showing cracks in her game last season. Her losses and near-losses started at about the same time she began being distracted by Fame (constant Selfies, making TV commercials, magazine shoots, endless Social Media nonsense, etc., etc.) One would think even Saba could recognize the parallels with others who failed before her -- Raducanu, Giorgi, Bouchard to name a few.mandoist25-09-2026
- Gross!! Hey Raducanu, Giorgi, and Bouchard -- reserve a seat at your Social Media Selfie table for Saba + Naomi. They're heading in your direction soon enough.mandoist24-09-2026
- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.DaveyWavey23-09-2026
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years. It seems odd considering she is not a "name" player, unlike the other cases.DaveyWavey22-09-2026

- This child is just too fragile. Step away from tennis for a year. Get healthy, get fit; train hard;ranking be damned, and come back as strong contender. Anisimova did it. So can Emma.Rapunzel17-09-2026
- Double standards, what can be said!? Venus is p**ing on media and public. Can't face defeat. Cowerdness! Shouldn't be given any other wild cards ever. That's gross disrespect.DragosJacob16-09-2026
