There is still a sour blood between Del Potro and the Tennis Association in Argentina.
Delpo has rejected once again the offer to play the Davis Cup for his country. Argentina will play the first round tie on the home soil the 31st of January (this is always a terrible date as it is too close to the Australian Open), but they will miss their most representative player.
Delpo: This is a hypocritical two-faced stance
Juan Martin is furious at its Federation to comment “I won’t be available in this first tie to be played against Italy. I’m tired of being invited by email or messages and being pressured at the same time through certain media with stories about whether or not I’ll play the Davis Cup, trying to make me look bad to public opinion.
“It seems to me a hypocritical two-faced stance, the same as last year when any reply or non-reply was quickly known by some journalists,” added Delpo.
The feeling is that if the situation would have been managed with more common sense, Argentina wouldn’t have this thorny problem. Another mess between a tennis federation and it’s most representative player.
