Del Potro to Make Comeback at Delray Beach This Month

BUENOS AIRES — Former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro announced another comeback on Wednesday after almost a year out with a left wrist injury.

The 27-year-old former world number four, who won the U.S. Open in 2009, used social media to announce he would be returning to the circuit at Delray Beach on Feb. 15.

The 2011 Delray Beach champion added that the “uncertainty and bad things I have lived through even made me think of giving up.”

Del Potro, who has lost many months to injuries to both wrists that required surgery three times since 2010, the third time last June, warned fans not to expect too much immediately after his comeback.
