Don’t feel bad, Juan Martin. Djokovic feels your pain too. Juan Martin del Potro’s comeback was halted in a close loss to Olivier Rochus, 7-6(7), 6-4. Perhaps the surprise was that the match was actually pretty close given how many months del Potro has been off tour.
del Potro fired 16 aces in his loss. He also had to save numerous break points and didn’t do well on second serves. However, his first serve was doing pretty well. One imagines del Potro should be getting close to normal in the next few weeks. Endurance will be another key for the big man.
