Del Potro best chances, Clay or Grass?

[Atennisone]

So my favourite tennis players is Rafael Nadal, followed by Juan Martin del Potro. I really want Del Potro to win a second Grand Slam, but I wondered where his best chances would be.

Well probably hardcourt is his best chances, but after that is it Roland Garros or Wimbledon.
By his playing style, grass would seem to be easier for him, but there are some records that can't back that up.
For the first at Roland Garros if using the current Grand Slam ATP point counter, he has a total of 1325 points, at Wimbledon it's 1305, well thats only 20 points, but still. Also he has 0 titles on grass, and 4 on clay. So his history says Clay, but his playing style says Grass. Where do you think he would have the best chances?

After HC I'd say grass. Too much grinding for him on clay I think. Could've done it in 2009 when he had Federer on the ropes and Soderling in the final, but not anymore. Plus it's still easier to take out Fed at Wimbledon than it is to take out Nadal at RG. Not that either is easy, both very difficult but you get the point.

 

[Mazz Retic]

The faster court suits him better now with his playing style and stamina.

I'd actually say clay because DelPo needs some time to get to the ball and then unload on it. I really don't see him winning RG or W at this time.

4 tiles on clay and none on grass, but there's many more tournaments on clay. He did well at wimbledon 2011, losing to Nadal in 4 sets and wasn't til the 4th Nadal broke, also had an epic 3 setter with Fed in the olympic semis, plus took Djokovic to 5 in the 2013 semis at wimbledon.

Del Potro of today can’t do much on clay.
That was different in 2009.

He won’t win another slam—of that im 99% certain.

But a better chance for him is probably on clay since he can hit more FHs than on any other surface. It’s really a shame about his injuries.

 

[MugOpponent]

A high bounce on clay is probably good for DelPo as well. I just can't imagine a low bounce on grass being good for his body type.

About Delpo not winning another slam, I unfortunately agree.

Assume u meant to say clay.

 

[True Fanerer]

In Delpo's younger days I would say clay. Now, his stamina seems unfit for the surface atleast at the FO Bo5 format.

yep, my mistake, will correct that

Clay is his worst surface
