至於Del Potro，將會照計畫在下週泰網復出!

Former US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro will return to the ATP World
Tour next week at the PTT Thailand Open in Bangkok. The former World No. 4,
who now finds himself at No. 35 in the South African Airways 2010 ATP
Rankings, underwent right wrist surgery 4 May in the United States. He has
not played since a fourth-round appearance at the Australian Open in January
eight months ago.

The 6’ 6” Argentine tweeted today: “I am extremely happy to tell you: I
WILL PLAY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Will be in the BANGKOK tournament next Monday.
Thanks so much for everything !”

Del Potro will leave Argentina Thursday and arrive in Bangkok Saturday for
just his second tournament of the year.

On 23 August, del Potro officially withdrew from the US Open, marking just
the third time (1971-Rosewall and 2003-Sampras) in the Open Era that the
defending champion did not compete. When he announced his withdrawal, del
Potro said: “I feel extremely sad to announce that I will not to be able to
defend my US Open title. Winning in New York last year has been my major
accomplishment in tennis and my best memory so far. I am so sorry for my
fans, my sponsors and all the people that care about me, but I have only
started practising in the last two weeks and unfortunately I cannot compete
at the top level yet.”

Also competing in Bangkok are World No. 1 and new US Open champion Rafael
Nadal and Roland Garros semi-finalist Jurgen Melzer, who is chasing a singles
berth at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, having already secured a doubles
spot at the season finale with German Philipp Petzschner.
