Video - The impressive ovation Del Potro received at his exhibition against Djokovic

Juan Martin Del Potro is one of Argentina's tennis legends, and it was in front of a crowd of over 15,000 that he entered the Buenos Aires court before the start of his exhibition against Novak Djokovic.

For the Tandil Tower's last appearance on a tennis court, the atmosphere was obviously more than up to scratch. The packed Parque Roca stadium celebrated one of its idols as he took to the court.

Del Potro, introduced by a video of his match point at the 2009 US Open, appeared to the cheers of the Argentinian crowd and received a superb ovation (see video below).

An atmosphere worthy of the Davis Cup for this highly symbolic exhibition match.
