What a match from Juan Martin Del Potro!
The Argentine is already playing a good tennis after a long hiatus (wrist injury) to concede just 4 games to Tim Smyczek in 96 minutes. The match lasted only 6 games (3-all), then the Argentine won 9 of the following 10 games to win 6-4 6-0.
That goosebumps moment:
“Tim Smeeee-check!”
“And Juan. Marteen. Del Po-trooooooh!” #BNPPO16https://t.co/uSN4PHKeHr— BNP Paribas Open (@BNPPARIBASOPEN) March 11, 2016
Del Potro. I am just happy to play
Juan Martin commented “I’m playing tennis again. I’m so happy to be on the court. I don’t care of I win or if I lose, I just want to play tennis.”
Next vs. Berdych
Delpo will have a much trickier task in the 2nd round against Tomas Berdych. A win would give an amazing boost of confidence to the Tower of Tandil. Head to head is 4-2 for Del Potro, but Berdych is now the favorite.
