• US Open champion’s career was scarred by injury
• Argentinian will face Novak Djokovic in farewell match

Former US Open champion Juan Martín del Potro has detailed the toll injuries took on his career and the pain he still experiences.

The 36-year-old’s last professional tournament came in February 2022 at the Argentina Open, when he hinted his career was over after a first-round loss. He had not played in the three years before that after fracturing his knee at Queen’s in 2019.
