Although tennis star Juan Martin del Potro hung up his racket over a year ago, the Argentine officially ended his career after playing one final exhibition match against 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic del Potro was a force to be reckoned with. He shocked the tennis community when he knocked out Roger Federer to win the 2009 US Open title. The Tandil native won 22 ATP titles during his career and made it into the top 5 of the ATP rankings, reaching his career high of world number 3.
Del Potro isn’t intimidated by the Big Three
At a time when players feared facing Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, del Potro was one of the few who posed a threat to the big three. Der Argentinier hat mehrere Siege gegen die drei Superstars errungen und steht mit 17 Siegen auf Platz zwei der Liste der Spieler mit den meisten Siegen gegen das legendäre Trio. Nur der ehemalige Weltranglistenerste Andy Murray hat mit 29 Siegen mehr gegen sie erreicht.
The Austrian Dominic Thiem, who was also eliminated from the Vienna Open in front of his home fans this year, is in third place with 16 wins against the Big Three. Frenchman Jo Wilfried Tsonga shares third place with Thiem as he also has 16 wins against the trio. Australian retiree Lleyton Hewitt rounds out the top five as he has an impressive 14 wins against the Big Three (Federer, Nadal and Djokovic) under his belt.
