Watch: ‘Emotional’ Novak Djokovic says ‘great person, great rival’ Juan Martin del Potro is an ‘example’ for everyone

Juan Martin del Potro played his farewell match on December 1 in Buenos Aires. Although the 2022 Argentina Open was the last official match of his career, he wanted to play another match to bid his goodbye to tennis in a proper way.

There were emotional scenes when Novak Djokovic let him win the final point and eventually the match 6-4, 7-5. Del Potro was in tears and so was Djokovic who later had so many good things to talk about the 36-year-old.
