The elimination of Juan Martin del Potro, the 29th in the world, at the hands of a former Top-10 also very affected by injuries -fell to the current position 569-, frustrated the reunion of the Argentine with the Serbian Novak Djokovic in the third round, as in the semifinals of 2013.
The match was played under intense heat -31º, unusual in London-, and was interrupted for 25 minutes to remove a spectator who fainted.
Del Potro, former US Open champion, gave a bottle of water to the spectators to be handed to the woman.
Del Potro had already warned of the potential of his rival, who is also 28 years old.
