Juan Martín del Potro returned to professional tennis Tuesday with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Denis Kudla in the first round of the Delray Beach Open in Florida. Del Potro was playing his first ATP match in 11 months after a left wrist injury that sidelined him following a first-round loss in Miami last March. Del Potro, 27, has had four operations — one on his right wrist and three on his left — since defeating Roger Federer to win the 2009 United States Open. Top-seeded Kevin Anderson quit his first-round match against 103rd-ranked Austin Krajicek because of an injured right shoulder.
