Four months after his left wrist injury, Juan Martin Del Potro is practicing

He is only playing slices, not double handers. So really not testing the wrist yet.

In the vein of current players getting former top players to be their coaches, I think he should enlist Ken Rosewall and just go all-in with the slice backhand.

The Argentine, who hasn't played since Miami when he lost to Vasek Pospiil in three sets, is believed to be finally stepping out of his injury days and he has revealed that he is looking forward to an injury free season.

Del Potro is as motivated as ever and wrote about his recovery process one month go. The World No. 581, who was fourth in 2010, played only four matches this year: one in Miami and three in Sydney on January. He assured that will play US Open next year.

Look at the forehand. Channeling his inner Roger? (This might be an old pic but oh well)

That is truly a hairy Sasquatch'ian man.
 
Gotcha. Kind of a weird way to root for him, though. We all want to see him back, but realistically he can only come back so far, certainly no "Djokovic" level.

If Delpo comes back injury-free, he is definitely making Top 4. Remember, his FH is not injured. Even with left wrists' niggles, he was close to Top 4. No wrist issues will unleash a beast.

Top 4 seems a bit far off, tbh. Could be top 10 though. Top 4 isnt really that easy

I doubt del Potro can even sustain top level player for a particularly long time ever again. Let's imagine just for a moment that he can become fit enough to have one final burst. He could then go all out at a Slam and leave his wrists out there on the court after warming up some serious form for a few months, then bow out after halting Djokovics CYGS bid. His wrists can literally fall to the floor after his last 178 mph backhand winner for the US Open title.


Cue a Hollywood film.
