Juan Martin Del Potro has announced he has withdrawn from the ATP 500 event in Acapulco next week. The 30-year old won the tournament in 2018. Del Potro made the announcement after losing in the Quarter Finals in three sets to Mackenzie McDonald at the Delray Beach Open.
American Mackenzie McDonald disrupted Juan Martin del Potro's latest injury comeback on Friday with a three-set victory over the top-seeded Argentinian in the ATP Tour's Delray Beach Open quarter-finals.
McDonald, ranked 84th in the world, outlasted the fourth-ranked Del Potro 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7/5) to notch his first victory over a top-five player and reach his first ATP Tour semi-final.
Juan Martin Del Potro, playing his first tournament since hobbling out of the Shanghai Masters with a broken right kneecap in October, took the court with his right knee more heavily bandaged than in his prior matches this week.
He was moving tentatively as he dropped the opening set, but still had plenty of pop on his serve and forehand as he managed to fend off two break points on the way to taking the second.
It would take a third-set tiebreaker to settle things, McDonald gaining the win with an overhead smash on his third match point.
