Exactly six years ago, the Argentine tennis champion Juan Martin Del Potro had surprisingly won the US Open title and he is still trying for an encore. Despite the physical problems that are forcing him to take a long break, the South American is not ready to stop getting involved.

On his Facebook page, he wrote to his fans: "The US Open is my favorite tournament, and next year I there will be too!" It is the hope of all fans, of tennis and Del Potro, that he returns to play soon. Currently Palito is still trying to recover from a wrist surgery.
