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.
