Juan Martin Del Potro receives the wild card for the upcoming US Open.
The Argentine is currently ranked no. 141 because he is recovering from a nasty wrist injury and he should have played the qualification at the Flushing Meadows. Eventually, the organization has rightfully decided to grant a wildcard to the 2009 champion.
Why Del Potro received a wild card
The decision was probably taken also after Juan Martin’s incredible run in Rio where he won the silver medal after defeating Djokovic and Nadal on the way.
