Del Potro reaches the SF in Delray Beach

Juan Martin Del Potro is having a really good comeback tournament in Delray Beach!

The Argentine has defeated in the quarters seed no.6 Jeremy Chardy 6-2 6-3 in just 80 minutes. Delpo was still a bit “tentative” on his double-handed back hand to avoid to push too much, but he has definitely improved his game.

 

Del Potro. I am still improving my backhand

Juan Martin commented “I’m surprising myself with the good tennis I’ve been playing. I’m still working to get back to my top level, if I can. But I’m really enjoying playing tennis again. I’m so glad to be able to play another match. It’s so nice to be in this stadium and have fans come and watch me play.

Against Top 30 players, you can’t keep hitting slice backhands, so I tried to hit more two-handed backhands than yesterday. I’m still working on improving my backhand and staying with it in competition. It’s part of the recovery for my wrist.”
