History

Historical Context

In 2010 a wrist fracture forced Argentine Juan Martín del Potro out for 13 months, sending his ATP ranking from No. 3 to 221 and costing him the US Open and 2011 Australian Open. The same risk resurfaced in 2024 when British Jack Draper’s bone bruise kept him off court for nearly seven months, dropping him to 143 and jeopardising his Cincinnati wildcard and U.S. Open mixed-doubles entry.
