The question remains––will Juan Martin del Potro be able to defend his Championship at the U.S. Open?  

The Argentine has been out of action most of 2010 after undergoing wrist surgery in January.  

He has not only been unable to compete, he has been unable to practice until this month.  Whether he can get himself fine-tuned enough to be a factor at the U.S. Open beginning on August 30 is still unclear.  

But he remains on the list of players entered into the Open and he has not withdrawn his name from competition––at least, not yet.  

Del Potro has not officially confirmed anything for the press.  Yet, interested people have captured the Argentine back in action.  His Twitter account revealed that del Potro is hard at work on the practice court with a racket in his hand––although holding the racket is fairly difficult at this stage of his recovery.  For the Argentine, it is important not to rush back too soon, suffering a set back, slowing his full recovery further.  

The only thing del Potro has promised is that he will compete in the Thailand Open later in September, leaving his chances of participating at the Open a bit questionable.  Still the prospect of del Potro back in the mix is very intriguing.  

The U.S. Open is where del Potro proved himself.  In addition to Federer and Nadal, the Argentine became the only man since Novak Djokovic in 2008 to win a major since 2005. Federer’s losses at the U.S. Open, ironically, are sandwiched between two Argentines: David Nalbandian, who defeated him in 2003, and del Potro, who defeated him in 2009.  



Federer was going for his sixth consecutive U.S. Open championship on the final Sunday of the tournament in September, as the late summer sun bathed the court. The Swiss had not lost a match at Flushing Meadows since 2003....
