It is not yet known to what extent Del Potro will be sidelined for, with an official report stating that specialists will “evaluate the recovery process in the coming days.”
One month from now’s season-finishing ATP Finals happen from November 11-18, while the primary major of 2019, the Australian Open, starts on January 14.
Such rough news for the tennis world and the millions of @delpotrojuan fans. He has a fractured knee cap.. this will be a tough road emotionally for Juan after all the time he’s lost to wrist injuries. I’m Hopeful he can recover and return to the court next year.
