Origin
and identity

Juan Martin del Potro's towering presence and thunderous forehand gave Argentina a champion capable of overwhelming the strongest players of his generation.

Victories over Nadal and Federer delivered the 2009 US Open and demonstrated his potential. Repeated wrist and knee injuries then interrupted the continuity that breakthrough seemed to promise.

Returns produced further landmarks: Argentina's first Davis Cup title and Olympic silver in 2016. Indian Wells in 2018 rewarded another recovery with a prestigious tour championship.
