Del Potro Leaves Tennis World Devastated
Listen now
Description
After a week of excitement in anticipation of the return of tennis' 'Gentle Giant', Juan Martin Del Potro brought us all back down to earth. "...I think this is one of the most difficult messages I will ever deliver." he said. That news... his body, in particular his knee, has been a nightmare and his much anticipated return as a wildcard at the Argentina Open is actually more of a 'farewell'.  The guys talk about the impact DelPo has had on the sport, his many accomplishments, and Jason talks the opportunity to share some of his favourite Del Potro stories. Peng Shuai is back in the news... Aldwin's bad impression leads to a discussion of the control she seems to be under as the guys give further kudos to the continued firm messaging of the WTA Tour calling to meet and speak with Shuai privately. This story will continue. Stories missed last week include: Sam Stosur retires from singles; King Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis win the doubles title; Kyrgios rips fellow Australian and one of the duo he defeated Max Purcell a new one.  Winners from last week and the Canadian Gay Open (CGO) returns in May, as Aldwin and Jason eye their first doubles trophy!
