' I always thank you at the end of my messages but this time I'll start differently.Thanks for helping me to enjoy the best year of my life. It would not have been possible without your support. Thanks to the tournament directors for always having wild-cards available for me. The warm welcome in every stadium I played, the love you gave me at the tournaments, the small talk when we met in the streets... It makes me proud when you tell me that you feel inspired by my recovery and that's one of the best gifts I got in 2016.I didn't have the normal team of any player, but I could rely on my family, my closest friends and you, especially the ones that supported me from every corner of my beloved country.My year on the ATP Tour has just finished and it had a very special moment, the best week of my life: the Olympic Games in Rio. That night after the medal ceremony I did not want to leave the stadium. I wanted that moment to last forever.I will not forget the US Open, the weekend in Glasgow, also Wimbledon ... When I started my comeback in February at Delray Beach and I was frustrated because my backhand landed short, which still happens, I never imagined I would finish my ATP season with these achievements.This was a recovery season from start to finish. With the help of my physiotherapists and thanks to a wise calendar, I was able to surprise everyone, including myself, and I ended up winning the title in Stockholm. I played a lot more than what my doctors suggested and that was why you may have noticed fatigue.I will never stop thanking you. See you soon.引用:Del PotroのFacebookページより☺️
' ーJuan Martin del Potro
デルポトロがFranco Davinコーチと契約終了してから約2年になりますが、デルポトロのnew coachがようやく決まったそうです。coachの名前は明らかになっていませんが、元々デルポトロのクレーシーズンから契約がスタートする予定でしたが、デルポトロの祖父が亡くなったタイミングと重なったため、7月末から始まるアメリカハードコートシーズンからスタートすることが決まった。
'I am here with my physio that is very professional, I didn't find a coach on which I can be confident. I mentioned already several names like Guga (Kuerten) Sampras and others, but I didn't take a decision yet and I am calm. The right moment will come.’
"As an experience it might be nice for me to have a (Pete) Sampras, (Guga) Kuerten or any of those other names that can accompany me in a tournament” Juan Martin del Potro
"I would love to help Del Potro because he is a player that can become world number one. But, due to all the commitments that I made, my priority in tennis is the development of 'Escolinha Guga', a project that has the goal to change tennis in Brazil" Gustavo Kuerten
“ With Juan we had a very strong relationship because I wasn't only a coach for him, we were friends like in a family. Then my priorities changed, he didn't take well that I decided to live in Miami and that couldn't have much time for him.”
-Franco Davin
“Living in Argentina makes travelling for more hours. He never wanted to move to another place despite it was a real option. He didn't want because always thought about Tandil and his family. All my respect for his opinion'. These are life choices: or the love for your country or moving to another city'. 'Palito' has chosen the second, which may mean having more difficulties like having a coach: not many people are available to live in Argentina, which is quite far from majority of the tournaments.” Franco Davin
