Juan Martin Del Potro has decided to play one last match to say goodbye to tennis and, for the special occasion, he thought of contacting his great friend Novak Djokovic directly. On December 1st, at the Parque Roca in Buenos Aires, what Delpo called El Ultimo Desafio will take place. The Serbian champion accepted the invitation without hesitation and will take part in a match that will give many emotions to true fans.
In an interview with the newspaper La Nación, Del Potro told an incredible behind the scenes story of the event thanking Djokovic for the immense demonstration of affection he showed him.
“Even before the last Miami Open, there were rumors. But Nole and I hadn’t seen each other for a long time. One day, right in Miami, he wrote to me: Delpo, I know you’re here, come have dinner with me and we’ll talk. We had an incredible conversation. He asked me if the rumors about the match were true and I told him that the only reason to continue the project was because he was there. Contact me for anything I can help you with, he said. For me it was exciting, because a guy as busy as him plays week after week and has thousands of offers of all kinds, but he’s taking a break to come to Argentina and be with me. It’s really special,” said Del Potro, showing his gratitude to his Serbian friend and rival.
