Juan Martín del Potro on the practice court of the Aegon Championships
Juan Martín del Potro (Spanish pronunciation:[ˈxwanmarˈtindelˈpotɾo]) (born 23 September 1988) is an Argentine professional tennis player. Del Potro achieved a top 10 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals for the first time on October 6, 2008. In January 2010, he reached a career-high ranking of World No. 4. Soon after attaining this ranking, however, del Potro had to withdraw from most of the tournaments in 2010 due to wrist injury, and his ranking plummeted.
He completed the second longest winning streak in 2008, and the second longest by a teenager in the Open Era, behind Rafael Nadal—with his winning sequence spanning 23 matches over five tournaments. Del Potro captured his first Grand Slam title at the 2009 US Open defeating Nadal in the semifinal, and Roger Federer in the final, becoming the first to beat both Federer and Nadal in the same Grand Slam tournament (later achieved by Novak Djokovic at the 2011 US Open). He became the second Argentine and the fifth youngest man to win the US Open title in the Open Era. (Full article...)

We want Argentina to be peaceful, powerful and sovereign and a mass of unity and happiness like nowhere in the world. We want the welfare of workers, the dignity of the poor and the greatness of this country that Perón has given us and that we all defend as the fairest, the freest and the most sovereign of the earth.
