Juan Martin Del Potro is looking for a strong finish to the 2018 season as his main goal is to qualify for the season ending finale in London.
The world number four has had a brilliant 2018 with his highlight being when he won the Indian Wells title in March, edging out Roger Federer in the final. The Argentine is looking for more success in North America this summer and he likes his chances at Flushing Meadows in a few weeks time, “I would like to play a great tournament in New York.”
The former US Open champion has also made it clear that his main goal is to qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals, which is in November as the top eight players in the world battle it out at the O2 Arena, “A new goal could be to qualify for London, which is, it’s not yet but I’m not that far from qualifying,” stated Del Potro. “It would be great for me if I could come back to London after many years. Rafa is playing so good, Roger has the potential to fight for the No. 1, of course, and Sascha is the future but he’s the present as well.”
Despite praising his nearest rivals he has recognised his own game and believes that when his game is at 100%, he can cause anybody problems, “I’m trying to get close to those guys, but we will see what’s happening at the end of the year. When I feel 100 per cent, I know how dangerous my game is against the other guys. But sometimes you need more than tennis to beat the top guys on tour. I did it in the past and I’m excited to try to repeat it in the future.”
The Argentine is currently in the semi-finals in Los Cabos, where he will face Damir Dzumhur for a place in the final as he prepares for a deep run at the US Open later this month.
