We will never know because it's a huge "what if", but it's possible he would've been among the greatest of all time had it not been because of his many injuries. Even after several surgeries, he was always coming back and skyrocketing to the top 10 consistently. Unbelievable player for his conditions.

I think so as well. He beat Nadal and Fed back to back at the US open in 2009. His backhand was insane as well, before his wrist injury. It was as good as his forehand, although his forehand got developed later on when he could not hit his backhand as he used to anymore.

Life is so cruel... I don’t even have the words to say how I feel... I had been waiting since 2019 for his return and now everything seemed ready for a comeback in the top 100. He has just declared his retirement after this tournament... I’m practically crying right now. Del potro is an incredible player and even though he won only one grand slam, this 2009 US Open has the place of 10 grand slams for me. A very great player who is leaving us, so fun to watch. I will really miss you Del Potro, happy retirement and thank you so much for all the incredible matches and performances you gave on the court for us😭😭 The day he retires (so very soon), is a dark day for the ATP.

Thanks Delpo for the amazing tennis memories.. your 2013 Wimbledon semi against Novak, your Olympic win against Novak. Your run in Shanghai against Rafa and Novak with those blistering forehands.. Your 2009 US Open, your 2018 Indian Wells. Greatest Forehand of all time in my opinion, lovely interactions with fans and a great sense of humor on court, great sportsmanship, respectful to opponents.. what more can we say.. Thanks for making the past decade even more historic and memorable. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Super sad, one of the unluckiest careers in men's tennis history. Sad about his various injuries- his peak was one of the highest and I think he coulda been a Great with 5+, maybe even 10+, especially in another era, slams had he not been injured. Delpo will be missed

Beating both fedal to win a slam was a dream for many top players those days and this man became the first man to make it real, such an amazing feat happened only 2 times in tennis history, at 20.9 beating both shows he had really a potential to win 5-10 slams, but then suddenly injuries kicked off, even though injuries kicked off he came back from outside top 100 to top 5 2 times which was also an amazing feat, which shows that he never gave up in his whole career even though being unlucky, what a legend he is
