<span style="font-weight: 400">Fondly called the gentle giant, Argentinaâ€™s Juan Martin Del Potro is arguably the most dangerous tennis player in the past two decades.

<span style="font-weight: 400">He has amassed 22 ATP singles titles in his career, and that has helped him generate a net worth of $13 million, to go with a career prize money in excess of $25 million. During his playing career, DelPo bagged some big contracts from Nike, Wilson, Rolex, and Luxilon, among others.Â </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Juan Martin del Potro?Â </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Born on September 23, 1988, Juan Martin Del Potro is a professional tennis player from Tandil, Argentina. He retired in 2022 but was ranked as high as world number 3 in August 2018. His standout achievement came at the 2009 US Open, where he stunned the then 5-time defending champion Roger Federer in the final, which lasted for five sets. He became the first Argentine since Guillermo Vilas in 1977 to win a tennis major. He is a 2-time Olympic medalist, a 2016 Davis Cup winner, and the 2018 Indian Wells Masters champion. In a career that lasted over a decade, DelPo amassed 22 ATP titles. The count could have been much higher had he not faced career-threatening wrist and knee injuries that forced him out of action between June 2019 and February 2022. He hasnâ€™t officially retired, but he last played in February 2022, at the Argentina Open.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s early lifeÂ </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Juan Martin Del Potro was born in Tandiil, Argentina to Daniel Del Potro, a veterinarian and Patricia Lucas, a teacher. DelPo speaks English, Spanish and Italian. Other than tennis, he also played football and is a hardcore Juventus fan. He began playing tennis at the age of seven, under coach Marcelo Gomez. However, his talent was unearthed by Ugo Colombini, and later became his agent and close friend.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s girlfriend</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Juan Martin Del Potro is currently in a relationship with </span><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-all-you-need-to-know-about-juan-martin-del-potros-girlfriend-oriana-barquet/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Oriana Barquet</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, a journalist from Argentina. The couple made their relationship public in January 2022, and are happy together.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s net worth 2024</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">DelPoâ€™s net worth is reported to be $13 million, however, many sources claim that it is close to $20 million. The Argentineâ€™s net worth took a nosedive when it was reported that he suffered a loss of $30 million because of his father </span><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-juan-martin-del-potro-reportedly-bankrupt-after-losing-30-million-dollars-because-of-his-father/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Daniel</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, who stole from his sonâ€™s account. Daniel expired in 2021, and Juan got to know about the debts after his fatherâ€™s demise.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s career</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Juan Martin Del Potroâ€™s junior career lasted for a couple of years between 2003 and 2005. He turned professional in June 2005, when he was just 16, and in his very first tournament at Reggio Eimilia, he reached the semifinals. Victories in three future tournaments helped him reach the world ranking of 157, making him the youngest player to do so. In 2006, he qualified for the French Open and the US Open but lost in the opening round. He finished the year inside the top 100 rankings, the youngest at 18 years and 2 months. The next two years saw Del Potro achieve greater heights, including four consecutive titles in 2008. He also made considerable progress at the majors, but his biggest achievement was playing in the Davis Cup Final for Argentina.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">2009 was clearly the best season for Del Potro in terms of results. He made some major advancements on clay, beating the likes of Rafael Nadal in Rome. He also made it to the semifinals of the French Open, where he was defeated by Roger Federer in a closely contested match. He struggled at Wimbledon, losing in the second round to Lleyton Hewitt in the second round.Â </span>

[caption id="attachment_578965" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-578965 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210312125823/GettyImages-933775812.jpg" alt="Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro" width="1920" height="1280" /> INDIAN WELLS, CA - MARCH 18: Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina is congratulated by Roger Federer of Switzerland after their match during the men's final on Day 14 of the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on March 18, 2018 in Indian Wells, California. (Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Seeded sixth at the 2009 US Open, DelPo made it to the final against Roger Federer, but not before defeating Rafael Nadal in the semifinal. He then put on a masterful display against Roger and defeated the Swiss in a five-set encounter. He thus became the first man since David Nalbandian to beat Federer at the US Open. He finished the year inside the top 10 players, making him the youngest at the time.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2010, DelPo injured his wrists for the first time, and though he played at the Australian Open, he was knocked off in the fourth round. He remained injured for nine months, and his rankings dropped past 250. In 2011, he returned to the tour, and though he couldnâ€™t win any majors, he finished as the number 11 player in the world, making him the ATP Comeback Player of the Year. His biggest achievement in 2012 came at the London Olympics, where he bagged a bronze medal for Argentina. Andy Murray bagged the gold medal, while Roger Federer had to settle for a silver medal. He also took with him four titles and finished the year as world number 7.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">A semifinal at Wimbledon, along with four titles, helped DelPo make it to the top 5 again in 2013, but the following year he witnessed a second wrist injury that kept him out of action for two years. He missed a major part of the 2014 and 2015 seasons, only to make a stronger return in 2016. After a gap of nine years, DelPo enjoyed success on the tour, winning a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics but losing to Andy Murray in the final. Later in the year, he helped Argentina win the Davis Cup against Croatia in the final. For the second time in his career, DelPo was named the ATP Comeback Player of the Year.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The following year, his best outing came at the 2017 US Open, where he defeated Roger Federer in the quarterfinal but lost to Rafael Nadal in the semis. Later, he also won the Stockholm Open, finishing the year with 730 points and as world number 11. In 2018, DelPo experienced another high as he made it to the US Open Final, losing to Novak Djokovic in straight sets. However, his biggest win came at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 tournament, where he lifted the title after defeating Roger Federer once again. He made it to the year-end ATP Finals but had to opt out due to a persistent knee injury.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Injuries continue to take a toll on DelPo as he played minimum tennis between June 2019 and 2022, during which he underwent four right knee surgeries. In January 2022, DelPo announced that he was returning to competitive tennis and that he would likely retire after the Argentina Open. His last match came against Fedrico Delbonis, and he hasnâ€™t played a match since. He has not officially announced his retirement, and though he started training for the 2023 US Open, he later withdrew in August, stating that his physical condition doesnâ€™t allow him to compete at the top level anymore.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Though Del Potroâ€™s career was marred with injuries, the Argentine giant was a top choice of some of the leading brands. The Argentine has been sponsored by brands like </span><b>Wilson</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><b>Nike</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><b>Luxilon</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><b>Peugeot</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><b>Rolex</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, and others.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s records</b></h2>

Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more Who is Rafael Nadal?Â  Rafael Nadal is undoubtedly one of the best tennis players of all time. The Spaniard, along withÂ Novak DjokovicÂ andÂ Roger Federer,Â forms the famed triumvirate of the &#8216;Big Three&#8217; in tennis. Another accolade that Rafa has to his name is the title, &#8220;King of Clay&#8221;. Rafael Nadal&#8217;s family includes his parents Sebastian Nadal and Maria Parera, his sister Maria Isabel, and his uncles Toni Nadal and Miguel Angel Nadal Homar. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Early LifeÂ  Rafael Nadal Parera was born on June 3, 1986, to parents Ana Maria Parera Femenias and Sebastian Nadal Homar in Manacor, Mallorca, Spain. His father is a successful businessman who owns the restaurant Sa Punta, the glass and window company, Vidres Mallorca, and three insurance companies. Mara Parera was a trader who was in the business of selling perfumes. However, she left her job and became a homemaker soon after Nadal was born. The 22-time Grand Slam champion has a younger sister, MarÃ­a Isabel Nadal. Tennis &#8211; Wimbledon &#8211; All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, London, Britain &#8211; July 2, 2022 Spain&#8217;s Rafael Nadal reacts during his third round match against Italy&#8217;s Lorenzo Sonego REUTERS/Matthew Childs When Nadal was three years old, his uncle and tennis coach, Toni Nadal, introduced him to the sport and worked with him from 2005 to 2017. Toni saw in his nephew a natural talent and believed that Rafa should put effort into the racket sport. At the age of 8, Nadal was playing both soccer and tennis. In the racket sport, he transitioned to a left-handed forehand when encouraged by his uncle, despite being right-hand dominant. Toni Nadal also intensified his nephew&#8217;s training at this age. At 12, he was still playing tennis and soccer. In tennis, he won the European and Spanish championships. However, his schoolwork saw a significant drop due to both sports, so his father made him choose one sport. Rafa chose tennis and has pursued it ever since. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Wife and Children Rafael Nadal married his long-time girlfriend, Maria Francisca &#8220;Xisca&#8221; Perello, on October 19, 2019. The two have been in a relationship since 2005 and Xisca is an insurance worker and is also the current director of the Rafael Nadal Foundation. One can only rarely find Xisca in Rafael Nadal&#8217;s box during his matches. She is a private person and doesn&#8217;t like the world to get to know much about her. Xisca feels that her presence would disrupt the Spaniard&#8217;s focus. Rafael Nadal met his wife, Mery &#8220;Xisxa&#8221; Perell in 2005. While there is no confirmed news, some reports suggest that they met through family friends. However, details about their life together are seldom found online as they prefer to keep a low profile. Nadal and Perell announced they were going to have a child together in June 2022. When he eventually graced the world, the couple decided to name him Rafael Nadal Jr. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Net Worth 2024 (Update) As of early 2024, Rafael Nadal&#8217;s estimated net worth is $200 million. About all-time tennis prize money earned, he is ranked No. 2 after an exceptionally successful career. South Korea&#8217;s second-largest automobile manufacturer, Kia, has been sponsoring him as its global ambassador since 2006. Apart from Kia,Â American clothing and footwear company Nike also sponsors Nadal. Spanish biscuits and bakery manufacturer, Quely also made him its international ambassador in 2010. Nadal sports a luxury watch from Richard Mille as part of an endorsement deal. Rafael Nadal&#8217;s watch is one of the most premium watches out there, with a hefty $725,000 value.

He likes to spend his holidays in his villas and luxurious yachts. He has also opened the Rafael Nadal Academy in his hometown in Spain, Kuwait, and Mexico. His logo is one of the most renowned logos in the world, with a stylized version of a bull. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Career &amp; Record The tennis icon from Spain dismantled the likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in several Grand Slam finals over the past couple of decades. By winning the 2020 French Open title, Nadal equaled Roger Federer&#8217;s record of the most Grand Slam titles at 20. A year later, in 2021, Novak Djokovic also joined Federer and Nadal when he won his 20th major title at Wimbledon by defeating Matteo Berrettini in the final. The 2022 season saw Nadal emerging triumphant in the tally of major titles as he won the Australian Open and the French Open, bringing his total up to 22. Djokovic tied his record this year after winning the Australian Open. So far, the Spaniard has won 14 French Opens, two Australian Open, two Wimbledon Championships, and four US Open titles.

In 2008, Nadal defeated Fernando Gonzalez with a score of 6-3, 7-6(2), 6-3 in the final to win his only medal at the Olympics. Along with his impressive wins, Nadal has set many records that will likely be untouched for a few more decades. He is the only player to have won 112 matches in one Grand Slam. He has only lost to two players in Roland Garros, Robin Sterling and Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard is the only player to have maintained a stance in the top 10 for 912 weeks. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Academy Considered one of the leading sports centers in the world for tennis, the Rafa Nadal Academy wasÂ launched in the year 2016 in Manacor, Spain. The academy was built to provide high-class facilities to aspiring tennis enthusiasts who want to make it big on the big stage. The inaugural event for the academy was attended by Nadal&#8217;s good friend Roger Federer and other tennis stars. Three years after its initial setup, the academy got permission for expansion. Cities like Mexico and Greece now have the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Nadal has endorsement deals and brand partnerships galore, the most profitable of which seems to be with Nike. Nike and Rafael Nadal have been collaborators since the Spanish player&#8217;s inception, and the renowned brand has helped him achieve a number of his characteristic appearances. The Raging Bull trademark, which is featured on a variety of gear items available for public purchase in addition to custom-made clothes for Rafael Nadal, is owned by Nike. Although the Raging Bull sign is commonly regarded as Rafael Nadal&#8217;s logo, Nike is the company that owns the trademark. The now-famous Raging Bull emblem was initially observed on Rafael Nadal in 2013. It was typically shown most clearly on his right breast, with the Nike logo covering his left. Despite his modesty, Nike values their relationship with Rafael Nadal greatly and pays him around $10 million annually. In addition, Santander, Emporio Armani, Babolat, Heliocare, Telefonica, Banco Sabadell, Tommy Hilfiger, Mapfre, and upscale wristwatch Richard Mille are among Nadal&#8217;s sponsors. According to the most recent estimations, Rafael Nadal&#8217;s net worth is roughly $220 million, with the majority of his income coming from prize money won on the ATP Tour. Since way back in 2006, he has represented South Korean automaker Kia as a brand ambassador. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Stats Rafa has been a shining star ever since he turned professional. He played his first ATP match on April 29, 2002. At the age of 15 years and 330 days, Nadal became one of the youngest players to win their debut ATP match. He faced Ramon Delgado and triumphed in straight sets of 6-4, 6-4. Ever since then, he has become one of the best in the sport. He would go on to not only face his major rival Roger Federer in their first match-up but also win against the Swiss Maestro. They met in the 2004 Miami Masters and set the tone for their rivalry, as he ended up with the upper hand in their head-to-head. Nadal has won 24 out of their 40 matches. He met his other major rival, Novak Djokovic, in 2006 at Roland Garros and won their first match as well. He has won 29 of their 59 matches.

In November 2020, Nadal became the only player to stay in the top 10 of the ATP rankings for 790 consecutive weeks. He broke Jimmy Connors&#8217; record in the process. Rafael Nadal also won a record 14th French Open title in Paris in 2022. Nadal has claimed 36 Masters 1000 titles, with Novak Djokovic leading that record with 38 titles. The Spaniard has made an appearance in 30 Grand Slam finals, second only to Federer and Djokovic&#8217;s record of 31 finals. The 2008 Wimbledon final between? Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are widely regarded as one of the most iconic tennis matches in the history of the sport. Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic: Head-to-Head after 2021 One of the most intense rivalries on the ATP tour, Nadal and Djokovic, always ensure to put their best foot forward while playing against each other, irrespective of the venue. The duo met a couple of times in 2021, with Nadal winning their match-up in Rome Finals while Djokovic won the most important French Open semi-final contest and later went on to win the title. Nadal exacted revenge in the 2022 version, as he ousted his archrival in the quarterfinals of the French Open. It paved the way for the &#8216;King of Clay&#8217; to clinch his record 14th Roland Garros title. Rafael Nadalâ€™s French Open dominance Having familiarized himself with red dirt during his initial days, Nadal mastered the surface and even developed his game initially to suit the clay. The Spaniard likes to stay on the point by pushing the opponent from corner to corner and there is no better surface than clay to do that. Coming to Nadal&#8217;s French Open record, he has amassed a total of 14 titles in Paris, the highest by any player on tour. The Spaniard&#8217;s first French Open crown came in 2005 when he surprised top-seed Federer in the semis. By winning the title, Nadal became the second male player after Mats Wilander to win the French Open on the first attempt. Rafael Nadalâ€™s injuries and retirement Although Rafa is a force to be reckoned with, his career has been riddled with injuries ever since he first turned pro. His first injury in 2003 made him miss his first Roland Garros, his only recorded French Open absence. Some of his most serious injuries came in 2012 and 2021, which forced him to miss several Masters and even Grand Slam events. Moreover, when Nadal lost for the first time in the French Open in 2009, ending a four-year streak, a knee injury played a crucial role in it. In 2012, he suffered a tear in a tendon in his left knee, which forced him off the tour for seven months and also became a reason for him to miss the US Open and the Australian Open of the following year. In 2021, Nadal started the season with severe back pain and then experienced more injuries in the following months. He missed Wimbledon and the US Open and even many Master&#8217;s 1000 tournaments. However, he still managed to win the Italian Open. Tennis &#8211; French Open &#8211; Roland Garros, Paris, France &#8211; June 5, 2022 Spain&#8217;s Rafael Nadal during the warm up before the men&#8217;s singles final against Norway&#8217;s Casper Ruud REUTERS/Yves Herman This year, Nadal, unfortunately, crashed out of the Australian Open in the second round. The bad news increased when Rafa was unable to return to the Tour. He missed the entire clay season and is set to miss the rest of the 2023 season. Since he has undergone injuries almost every year in his active years, Nadal&#8217;s advancing age has made it difficult for him to recover from his latest injury. In a recent press conference, the Spaniard shocked the tennis realm by announcing that the 2024 season will probably be his last on the ATP Tour. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Charity and Foundation Considered one of the leading sports centers in the world for tennis, the Rafa Nadal Academy was launched in the year 2016 in Manacor, Spain. The academy was built to provide high-class facilities to aspiring tennis players who want to make it on the big stage. The inaugural event for the academy was attended by Nadal&#8217;s good friend and former rival Roger Federer, and other tennis stars.Â Nadal&#8217;s academy even pays an ode to the Fedal rivalry. Three years after its initial setup, the academy got permission for expansion. Cities like Mexico and Greece now have the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre. Projects undertaken by the foundation include the Rafa Nadal Foundation Center in Spain. The Spaniard has even gone global with the Anantapur Education Center in India. He has also launched various scholarships to aid socially disadvantaged youth.
