<h2>Australian Open: Latest News, Results and Records</h2>
The Australian Open is the youngest of all the Grand Slams, having first started in 1905.

The tournament holds the record for the highest attendance at a Grand Slam event, where 743,667 people attended during the 2018 edition of the Australian Open. It also has the honor of being the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat.

There are three main courts, the Rod Laver Arena, the Melbourne Arena and the Margaret Court Arena. Aside from that, they have courts 7 to 15 and even court 19 and 20. The tournament first became open to all from 1969 onwards, a year after the remaining 3 did so.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Juan Martin del Potro: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more</h2>
Fondly called the gentle giant, Argentinaâ€™s Juan Martin Del Potro is arguably the most dangerous tennis player in the past two decades. He constantly challenged and defeated the Big 3â€”<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/">Roger Federer</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a>, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a>â€”with those big, booming forehands and fast serves on the tennis court. A celebrated career, though marred by injuries, DelPo is a grand slam winner, a Masters 1000 title winner, and an Olympic medalist. 

&nbsp;

[caption id="attachment_727467" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-727467 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-589523100.jpg" alt="Juan Martin Del Potro" width="1920" height="1354" /> RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - AUGUST 14.

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 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Juan Martin del Potro?Â </h2>
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.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s early lifeÂ </h2>
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.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s girlfriend</h2>
Juan Martin Del Potro is currently in a relationship with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-all-you-need-to-know-about-juan-martin-del-potros-girlfriend-oriana-barquet/">Oriana Barquet</a>, a journalist from Argentina. The couple made their relationship public in January 2022, and are happy together.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s net worth 2024</h2>
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 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-juan-martin-del-potro-reportedly-bankrupt-after-losing-30-million-dollars-because-of-his-father/">Daniel</a>, who stole from his sonâ€™s account. Daniel expired in 2021, and Juan got to know about the debts after his fatherâ€™s demise.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s career</h2>
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.

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 

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</h2>
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 Wilson, Nike, Luxilon, Peugeot, Rolex, and others.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Juan Martin del Potroâ€™s records</h2>

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. 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  INDIAN WELLS, CA &#8211; MARCH 18: Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina is congratulated by Roger Federer of Switzerland after their match during the men&#8217;s final on Day 14 of the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on March 18, 2018 in Indian Wells, California.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
