Del Potro commits to Queen’s before Wimbledon

Juan Martin is having a very interesting year. The Argentine had a marvelous Indian Wells where he beat Murray, Djokovic and he lost in a 3 set final against Nadal. Now he is planning ahead the grass season choosing to play at Queen’s in the June 10-16.

From Delpo

“I like to play on grass, and at the Aegon Championships you feel like you are at home,” said del Potro

About last year in London

“I have a fantastic memory from last year when I won the bronze medal at the Olympics,” he said.

“It was a magnificent experience for me. I had never played at an Olympics before so it was a big moment for me and my country.

“To win on grass at Wimbledon as well made it an even bigger moment. I think that if I play my best tennis I have a chance to win a Grand Slam tournament on grass, but it will be very difficult.”

From the director

Queen’s tournament director Chris Kermode said “Juan Martin proved he is back to his very best by beating Murray and Djokovic back-to-back last week, which is similar to what he did in 2009 when he won the US Open title in such spectacular style.”
