Despite withdrawing from this week’s Intrum Stockholm Open, Juan Martin Del Potro continues to work hard towards his return to the court.

Hello from Barcelona! Been working with my team and doctors. They are very happy with the results and the rehab progress. Thanks for your messages! 🤗💪🏽

Del Potro played just five events this season before re-injuring his right kneecap at Queen's Club in June, which was the very same injury he suffered in Shanghai in 2018. He underwent surgery both times.

The Tower of Tandil appears to be hitting the ball as big as ever, but one has to wonder how many more comebacks he has left in him. Everyone loves watching the 31-year-old strike a tennis ball, let’s just hope this is the last time the injury-prone Argentine is forced to mount a full-scale comeback.
