See main article: article and Juan Martín del Potro.
The 2018 Juan Martín del Potro tennis season officially commenced on 10 January 2018 with the start of the Delray Beach Open. This season saw Del Potro slightly improve on his previous results as well as his playing style. Highlights from his season includes winning his 400th career match in Indian Wells,[1] where he won the first Masters 1000 title of his career.[2] After he was forced to retire due to a leg injury in the Italian Open, his participation in the French Open was apparently at risk. However, the Argentine managed to recover in time and entered the tournament as the fifth seed. There, he performed notably well considering the doubts surrounding his physical condition, and the fact that clay is not the best surface for his style of play. His run to the semi-finals ensured that, for the first time since February 2014, Delpo would return to his career-best ranking of world No. 4.[3]
This table chronicles all the matches of Juan Martín del Potro in 2018, including walkovers (W/O) which the ATP does not count as wins.
