Stars begin making transition to clay
Juan Martin del Potro is on the road to recovery.
Just two weeks after the 32-year-old underwent a fourth right knee surgery in Chicago, the Argentine is back to work. The former World No. 3 posted a video of himself doing gym work with a brace on his right leg.
There’s no quit in this man 💪

Del Potro has previously had surgeries on both of his wrists. The former World No. 3 last competed at the cinch Championships at The Queen’s Club.
The ‘Tower of Tandil’ is not the only player to post on social media so far this week. On Tuesday, Karen Khachanov shared a photo of himself with good friend Andrey Rublev as they began their transition to clay.
