[Honestly]

He better make his move in 2013. He's been a shadow of the player that saw him win the USO. It's almost been three years ffs.

No telling what will happen.
DelPo may bust out at anytime.

He has a few areas he needs:

The forehand and the serve.

If those two are working then he'll be a threat and after that the rest will take care of itself, endurance, movement etc.

possibly. the sad part is that a one dimensional ball basher storming the season isn't the worst thing to happen to the sport in recent years.

Of course it's not the worst thing, because it's not a bad thing at all, well on the contrary. Del Potro rising again and possibly even higher than he did back in the day would be great for tennis.

He's one dimensional, I'll give you that; but that dimension is great - unmatched power off both wings. It surely beats having guys whose only dimension is the ability to run a marathon on a tennis court in the top 5, no?

[abraxas21]

not really my style. i'd much prefer murray doing better than del potro. he might have a lousy forehand but has way more variety, imo.

[Mark Lenders]

No argument there, but then again most players do have more variety than Del Potro.

JMDP isn't exactly known for his variety, but for his metronomic power hitting.

What can DP do except hit hard in the middle? Hardly enough against the top 4. He might beat one of them at a slam, but he won't beat two, which is a necessity to win a slam.

[LocoPorElTenis]

Realistically Del Potro might, I repeat might, challenge for slams in a couple of years when Nadal and Federer are no longer a force, provided he stays healthy (big if). As a fan I'll be happy if he keeps getting to QFs of big tournies with the occasional SF.

Novak Djokovic Two.Zero has already risen

[sexybeast]

Needs to avoid Federer, that is all.

Djokovic aswell, Murray too I think and maybe Ferrer aswell.

[superslam77]

del potro is ok though his uso win was a bit of a fluke let's be honest.

i mean murray,soderling,tsonga,berdych are better players but didn't do it.

he just got lucky.

He was better than Federer in that final. That's what I saw.
