First Davydenko, now DP? This sucks. Get better soon DP, you need to go and try for a title defense at the US Open!

Doesn't look good. After this much time off, chances of a successful defense are pretty slim, he won't be in good form at all.

This is truly a shame. Del Potro's absence at the FO will leave a big void, especially after it was there last year that he anounced himself as a major contender for Grand Slams.

But his health is more important, hopefully he can get back to 100% and back on the tour as quickly as possible.

Really sad to hear this.

He is in danger of missing the USO as well. He could be out for up to 6 months.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Yeah, he'll be outta the Top 100 fo sho

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

BTW, Davydenko out of Madrid, returns in Nice

 

[HunterST]

what exactly is wrong with his wrist?

 

[pmacino]

The way I read it, he'll be out for a while.

 

[patty_mnouchkine]

this is awful news. hope he comes around to at least defend his title. otherwise it is poor.

I hope Del Potro's injury won't cause him to miss these two again... :/
