Argentine big man Juan Martin del Potro has been a victim of injuries over the past few seasons. Sadly, he has been unable to play tennis over the past year. During this period, he has had four right knee surgeries. 

However, Juan Martin del Potro is recovering slowly but steadily. He was seen on the practice courts a couple of months ago but was practicing with a knee brace on. In a positive development, the Argentine was seen practicing yesterday without a knee brace, indicating that he is moving in the right direction.

A positive development for Juan Martin del Potro

A couple of pictures of the big man surfaced on social media. In those pictures, one can see a refreshed-looking del Potro training on the courts without the brace. This is great news, considering the amount of time Juan has spent on the sidelines. 

The Argentine got recognition in 2009 when he won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open. On that rare occasion, he beat Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal during the same event in order to claim the title. 

He was the only man to win a Grand Slam title outside of the big 4 from the 2005 Australian Open to the 2014 Australian Open. Besides, he reached the US Open final in 2018, but fell victim to Novak Djokovic.
