Del Potro rally thread.

Oh fuck. Here we go again.

This amounts to a 2K swing. Need Del Potro to win in his first match for his comeback. The motivation is 100% there, the fitness is there... will the game be there?

The draw, as always and for all tournaments, is rigged. They set Del Potro up with a gift. Kudla best win in last 12 months? Maybe Paire... or Troicki pre-Aussie Open (when players aren't 100% invested mentally) Otherwise whenever Kudla has faced a top level player he has been dusted in straight sets the majority of the time.

Win this shit, Del Potro.

The big bear looks good in warm-ups. Physically looks like he's all there. Hopefully any wrist or backhand problems.... hopefully that happens in his next match.
