Del Potro will play his last match against Djokovic in December!
Something was afoot. We'd been sensing it for several weeks, particularly since Juan Martin Del Potro and Novak Djokovic trained together at the US Open.
The news has now been made official: Del Potro will play one last professional tennis match before retiring, and it will be against Djokovic.
On December 1, during an exhibition match in Argentina, the 2009 US Open winner's career will be honoured one last time, with his final match against Djokovic.
It's a moment that has probably been eagerly awaited, and which has just been announced on social networks (see video below)!
